Translucent, shiny, medium garnet red. Aromas emerge with medium intensity and complexity showing ripe bing cherry, roasted coffee bean, and graphite. A dry wine with excellent balance, medium acid, plush ripe tannin, medium body, high alcohol 14% is barely noticeable. The red fruit bursts open on the palate, fresh cherry, cranberry, tobacco leaf, slight bitterness. Medium concentration and medium plus length of flavor. Excellent quality for $12! #tempranillo

Loved it! Found this bottle hugely discounted at Berkeley Bowl, and greatly enjoyed drinking it while watching the Democratic Debate (a shit show - wine was necessary) and sharing a special HQ dinner with my roommates.

This is my go-to wine for prime rib night on Wednesday’s. Ripe, round, and full bodied.
