Tempranillo, one of my favorite wines and a favorite region!
We discovered this wine in Arizona and had two bottles shipped to us.
A few months later we find it on our favorite wine shop in Missouri..total kismet!
There is allot going on in this bottle. Super dark on the pour, and it kicks off some earthy dark fruit on the nose. On the palate, it's big in body and in flavor, again nice ripe dark fruit flavor, a perfect touch of oak, vanilla, white pepper and leather tones with a long lush finish. This is simply a savory wine and I am glad we purchased two bottles, even more glad we can now purchase it at our favorite wine shop. I have no doubt you could evolve this wine for another 2-3 years and enjoy it just as much, maybe more. It is a great value, right around $15 per bottle.
If I get you to try any wine, this would be it!
This is definetly not a wine for the faint of heart. It is bug and bold. It has a good amount of oak. It also will show off the french oak. It has a lot of Vanilla on the nose and the palate.
