The wine is a nice bright ruby color in the glass with nice clarity. The nose is classic tempranillo, with aromas of ripe berries, plum and leather and just a hint of mint. The taste is not as laden with jammy fruit as the nose would suggest, instead the fruit was subdued and quickly transitioned to some notes of iron and toasted oak midpalate. The finish was rather brief, with some hints of vanilla on the back end, still an easy drinking wine.
Overall I would rate this wine a solid 7, it's a pleasant, easy drinking wine that was a great value at less than $7! I picked this one up at G.B. Russo's in Grand Rapids and could be a nice mid-week wine. Tonight I am enjoying this with some fresh proscuitto perline pasta from Trader Joe's along with some rosa prima vera, a nice easy Friday night meal. Cheers!
