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.

I really liked this one, reminds me a lot of the same flavor sad you'd get from a low altitude Napa Cab. Disagree with the comments on flavor and richness, this is a great daily drinker that won't break the bank. Competes with the $30-$45 California drinkers anyday
