A strong nose of ripe raspberries, cinammon, and minerals, this wine is quickly becoming a favorite amongst red wine drinkers.  Flavors of blackberry, oak, and tannins make this wine excellent for entertaining or for enjoying by yourself.

 

Recommendation:  A very unusual blend, this wine is quickly growing in popularity.  The flavors of berry and oak aren’t as fruity as those usually found in California wines, and compliment the peppery finish very well.  If you’ve never tried a Spanish wine, this is a great one to get started with.  The price makes this Spanish red a great deal considering it tastes like it should cost a lot more.  If you see this at your store, I really can’t recommend it enough.  The flavors, the aromas, and the price are all perfect for enjoying this wine.
