Super interesting! 13.3% alcohol, really bright acidity and a mixture of dark but mainly red fruits. I will buy this wine just to blind taste my friends on. Beyond intrigue, balanced, surprisingly earthy and on the distant finish, Slightly gamey characteristics but the welcomed kind, like northern Rhone spice. Although the spice is subtle to me, it creates a lasting impression and I for one am dumbfounded. Sipping on this lil wine wi h some BBQ sauce on my plate. Really nice.

Quite austere, tart, with drying tannins.

2009 Texas Tempranillo. Licorice, violets, tart red cherries. A bright finish that makes it food friendly. #txwine

Nose is minerals and alcohol. A silky tart cherries opening with lots of pepper spice and leather dry finish. Medium body.

Eric is not a fan of Temp's because they aren't dry enough. I love them for that reason, and this one is tops. Plenty of fruit, easy on the pallet.

Lovely Texas wine. Almost reminded me of a fruit forward Malbec with a drier finish.

Not as spicy as some Temps, but a smooth drinker.
