Nice tannins, oaky, a little spicy with dried fruits. Would definitely buy again.

Strong dark fruits and extremely bold tannins. Tastes like wet tree bark, smells like red berries and sharpie combined. The 6 months in barrel provides more depth than other cheap tempranillos, but it is not a fan favorite, certainly not a table wine.

Drinkable, no real depth of flavor. Fine for the price point.

It was ok. Had it with chicken cacciatore and didn't pair very well. Not sure what the price was but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it.
