It’s a dark wine, inky, nearly black. The aroma package is brambly and rustic, full of black fruit and oak spice - toasty vanilla, aromatic cedar, smoke. It's also a brawny wine, big on the tongue. Black plums, blackberry and anise color the wine as dark as night. Tannins are big, too, but not so imposing that they upset the enjoyment of the sip.

Just not enough extract to peak my interest. Structure and winemaking is there, but body and Polish is lacking.

Very nice tempranillo with ripe sour cherries and notes of clove. Deliciously balanced low acidity and residual sugars. Could use a few more years of aging but showing very well.

Nice and easy drinking Tempranillo. Alcoholic boss with strong aldehydes but soft body, ruby raspberries and blueberries. Light spice and almost no tannins. Easy.

Texas Tempranillos are some of my favorite wines. This wine was very smooth and dry but not overpowering.
