Pretty good Tempranillo, especially for the price. This mellowed out after a few days; I think it's much better after oxygenating a bit!

Update: ended up making this one into a sangria. Perfect with some apples and cinnamon 👌

Hey. I'm no snob. Good cheap rooftop wine. With Manchego and bread.

Kind of unusual for a Spanish red. Deep red color with sweet Berry aromas. The palate displays sweet jammy fruits, raspberry and cherry. Somewhat smooth in character but not overly complex. Noted acidity and some spice ends on the medium finish. Ok if you are having a pizza, but put some oak on my Tempranillo!

Average, but cheap for a liter. Would be great for sangria. (Red Star Liquors)

Supremely chuggable, highly quaffable: wifey says it reminded her of Romanian village wine. Nice acidity, goes well with food.

Delicious and smooth. Great every day red and even goes great with spicy food.
