The Brennan Tempranillo 2013 tries to sneak in without being noticed. The muted nose is a little hard to get, but worth it once you do. Black fruit and coffee lead the blunted aromas. The palate offers more strength - tons more - and blows plenty of fruit-forward blackberry and plum your way. A nice dollop of spice augments the full fruital attack, but not as much as the Reserve shows. There are some manly tannins here, so grill a big steak or two for this wine.

This is a beautiful expression of what Texas Tempranillo can be. Coffee and earth on the nose with powerful blackberry and fig in the mouth. The very masculine tannins will grab ahold of your tongue. Delicious!

This Texas Tempranillo has pronounced flavors of mocha. It comes from the Fall of 2012 vintage

Get a lot of chocolate on this one. Subtle on the nose with a little hint of fruitiness but definitely dark chocolate on the pallet, especially on the back end.
