Blind or non-blind, this is more Pinot-like than Tempranillo. Loads of flowers, cranberry, cherry and dust. Some pepper and spice too. Great wine at under $20.

2013.

Plenty of terroir here. For the money, one finds it hard to complain.

From the great purveyors at wine mine. Much lighter than many tempranillos (in a good way). Very juicy and delicious with food. Yum.

Almost too much fruit. More fruity and sweet than I was expecting. Jammy.
