Dinner with Parents (Novi, MI): This seemed to be a solid easy drinking California tempranillo at the price point, although not too memorable.

Solid 88 if not 89. I like the touch of tannat and graciano but I think their portions were a little too much. I think they over influenced the flavor profile of the tempranillo. But, that may be just my palate.

More raspberry and violety and floral than what I remember. Less oak than I remember. Still great drinking stuff. Works it out at $15 for sure.
Apparently this tempranillo clone is more medium bodied - meaning fruit but less tannins to deal with.

Medium body, dark ruby color, dry. Cherry, blueberry, fall spice flavors, but very little of the characterstic tempranillo spice. Integrated tannins, light smoke.
