Introduction

92 points from Halliday suggests a pretty good New World wine. $7 from Aldi (including big import taxes, etc) suggests Old World drain cleaner.

Closing

Surprisingly, these two wines are not hugely different and, happily, they are both very enjoyable wines. How varietaly 'correct' they are is open to debate. They certainly both express some of their terroir, but also modern winery handling. They are of an agreeable style and enjoyable without food unlike many traditional Spanish examples.
