Gota de Arena Tempranillo

Wow what a label. Classy and crazy art. Dark like blood. Smells a bit like latex paint, bar-b-q meat and berry sauce. Earthy. Barnyards. Flavors are decent. Bit candied. Funk. Cherry funk. Plenty, plenty dry. It’s a bit more like a GSM than a Temp. Decent.

Smells like chocolate milk, cinnamon, and berries when served at 60 degrees or warmer. Enjoyed this wine with a burger and would do it again!

Still an eye catching label. Wine is a solid choice, has a baked plums and mild olive vibe. Gets the job done as a Spanish Temp for a school night.

Trying this again for Tempranillo Day. Looks nice in the glass. Blood red. Smells like vineyards in the sun and steaks? It’s got an interesting aroma. Warms the soul. Flavors are a bit less complex than I’d hoped. Balanced though. Has nice bite and plenty of fruit in the backbone. This is a decent buy at $10.
