This is an organic Tempranillo from Spain. I hadn’t browsed the wine isle at T.J.’s in a while and was intrigued to find an organic Tempranillo from Spain there. There is also a Cabernet from Albero that we want to review as well. Jason has some more insights as to the origin of this wine and a review as well. Overall we were pleased with this $6 wine and would buy it again. |
| $6 from Trader Joes |

- Strong cherry aroma with hints of vanilla.
- Decent balance, with a weak short finish.
- Simple and pleasant, but lacks any enjoyable complexity.
- Chocolate on the finish.
- This wine like having the Monday of a long weekend off… you’re really happy to have the day off but you don’t really do anything really exciting or very interesting.

This is our second review of one of the wines in the new Martha Stewart line that was released last year. Earlier we reviewed the Merlot from the collection. The wine is produced and distributed by E & J Gallo Winery, of Modesto, Calif and made from grapes from the Sonoma region. The wines are so far only available in the select cities of Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Denver, Phoenix, and Portland. The wine is usually sold in the $15 price range, but we recently picked some up on clearance for $6. It will be interesting to see if they make any changes to the wines this year. Overall we think these wines should be better if they intend to sell them in the $15+ range. |

- Aromas of mint and hickory BBQ.
- Tastes of oak wood and strawberry.
- Great food wine with a medium finish.
- This wine is like watching a good movie by yourself… the movie is pretty decent and you find it entertaining… but at the end of the movie, you wish you had someone else there to share it with.

- Aromas vanilla and fresh green beans.
- Flavors are complex, but tend to compete with each other.
- Strong blueberry flavors that improve after decanting.
- Smooth and very dry.
- Very fruit forward but not sweet.
- This wine is like a “buy one get one free” coupon to a semi-upscale restaurant that you haven’t been to before… you are happy that you went, but wouldn’t go back if you didn’t have another coupon.
