Our Review

Wow! This is one of the best Tempranillos that I have ever tasted. Extremely smooth and flavorful, this Tempranillo is a great addition to your collection. It’s striking orange label makes it stand out among the rest.

On the contrary, this full bodied Tempranillo is really drinkable on its own and unbelievably smooth. The color is a medium purple, not too light and not too dark. Also no need to decant. Open it right up and experience a lively and fruity sensation on your palette. The nose is very floral and fruity. Look for notes of fig jam and cedar if you dare. On the palette, I find notes of mostly cherry, red apple and grapefruit.

Since it’s not expensive at all, this is a great everyday wine that is very high quality for the price. I highly recommend this wine for a nice bottle for your collection or as a great gift that won’t break the bank.
