Not bad for $12! Bright fruit and tobacco.

Carbonic tempranillo?! With a touch of Viura?! Delicious and quaffable yet distinctly tempranillo. Red fruit, tobacco, violets with dusty grip. This is a summer tempranillo if I've ever had one.

Rich, full-bodied Rioja. Would be tasty with food....or just on its own!

Funky tart raspberry nose from the carbonic fermentation. Bright raspberry on the palate, med-high acidity. A little bit of leather. This wine is really refreshing and different and fantastic QPR ($14 at a local wine shop in Brooklyn). Surprisingly the 2015 is already drinking great.

Tastes pretty good - smooth and fuller bodied with some fruit. That being said, really funk/weird nose that might be hard to adjust to
