I wouldn't have pegged this as Tempranillo dominant blind, but now looking at production notes it does remind me of some modern Rioja wines. Sweet black cherries, tight tannins, racy acidity and a touch of brambly dried herbs on the finish.

Not a bad flight-filler. Took second place in the flight and a pleasant surprise. Inky. The PS and Grenache were evident!

Nose is strong, powerful, and full of flavor. Oak flavor dominates with distinct acidity. Fairly good for the price.

Super dark fruit aroma. Would not have guessed it was a Tempranillo blend. Slight cinnamon note! Would buy again! 2009
