Spain sure does have nice graphic designers, but too bad some of the wine isn't as unique as the label art. There are a few spanish importers that I need to stop trusting. Every wine feels like it's coming from the same massive vineyard operation, and then they add differing amounts of oak.

This doesn't taste bad though. It just tastes like basic table tempranillo.
