$11, 5 stars, 90 points, spain, Syrah/Tempranillo, tempranillo


I bought this on sale for $11 and couldn’t be happier.  I got three bottles but may have to re-order by the case!  Opaque dark red/purple from this 50% Tempranillo, 20% Merlot, 20% Cab, 10% Syrah blend. The nose gives up mint, capsicum and a touch of blueberry. On the palate an interesting mix of blueberry, earth and pomegranate. The wine exhibits some forward acidity which explains the pomegranate component. It finishes nicely with a healthy, balanced dose of tannins that rest in the gums and make me reach for the glass. This is a yummy wine that defies the typical Spanish profile yet provides juicy, interesting flavors that should evolve and mature. 90 points and 5 stars for this great quality to price ratio.  Salut….

0 stars, organic wine, Syrah/Tempranillo


An organic blend of Syrah and Tempranillo, it gives up some funk on the nose- another wet dog??
On the palate, totally cooked. A waste of time and money. No stars.
