I am very pleasantly surprised by this wine. Oak is the first thing that comes to mind when you put it up your nose, but all in good proportion and taste. Fantastic intensity in the palate, for the price, with great integration and harmony of the oak. Phenomenal every-day wine. Very good character, not overshadow by oak. Moderation is the essence here.

Tempranillo - Cherries - woody, as in clean and new casks. I'll pass due to the fruitiness and tartness. $12
