Really enjoyed this 2014 Rioja Tempranillo. Good amount of spice to it, while remaining really smooth. Comes in at around $15.
Tempranillo comes from the Spanish word "temprano" ("early"), as they ripen several weeks before other grapes. It's been used in the Spanish Peninsula since the Phoenicians first settled there.
"Velvety smooth with rich strawberry fruit flavours, warm spicy aromas, and a sweet vanilla finish. A unique wine-making process extracts intense colour, aromas, and structure from the Tempranillo grape to create a delicious, complex, and premium Rioja."
