My first CA Tempranillo although in a blend. Lighter in body, with no tannins at all. A smooth drinking wine with some nice prevalant fruit and a pretty easy finish. This was a welcome change from our usual repetoire.

This was a nice suprise. I have only tried a few CA Tempranillos and this has been the best so far. It is not an elegant or nuanced wine, but for the price point it works. This is on par with the $10 - $20 Spanish Tempranillos. Red fruit and licorice on the nose. Dark cherry fruit attack. A sense of dried fruit lingers on the moderate finish. Nice balance and structure. 3 of 5

Just past it's time but still worth drinking. Big blackberry and currant.

DEEP, DARK COLOR, RICH FULL BODIED WINE. eASY DRINKING, SOMEWHAT ONE DIMENSIONAL. ENJOYABLE, BUT UNLIKELY TO BUY ANOTHER.

Deep red color. Fruity, spicy nose. Round, medium body. Easy to drink.
