This wine is a Garnacha from Spain. We highly recommended the Tempranillo from Tapena, so I thought I’d give the Garnacha a try. This wine would be enjoyed much more by someone who prefers sweeter wine. We enjoy dryer wines, so go ahead and add a trophy if you think you like sweeter wines. |

- Very ripe aromas of berries and cherries.
- Has a strong sweet taste, especially before decanting.
- Tastes of almond, vanilla and jammy berries.
- Decanting is highly recommended as it mellows the wine out quite a bit.
- This wine is like that sweet and naive girl you meet one day. Once you get to know her though, you realize that she’s actually not that naive at all… but still very sweet.

This wine is a Tempranillo from Spain. Tempranillo is the main grape for much of Spain. The primary regions where the grape is grown are Rioja and Ribera Del Duero. Tempranillo’s can be very similar in many ways to Pinot Noir as is the case with this particular bottle. |

- Aromas of red berries, cherries and vanilla.
- Very smooth and soft, but also light and crisp at the same time.
- Flavors of plumb and a little smoke and oak.
- At $10.00 a bottle this wine is like waking up on Saturday morning at 5:00 a.m……You suddenly realize that it is the weekend and you are free to sleep for a couple of more hours. A great wine, and the price makes it so worth it. You must try this wine! You will be so grateful that you did.

This wine is a Tempranillo from the Rioja Region of Spain. The Rioja region is in Northern Spain and known for producing outstanding grapes. The region was granted Denomination of origin status in 1926 and in 1991 became a qualified denomination of origin. This is important because it means that it is a protected region and only wine made from grapes produced here can be called rioja wines. |

- Very dry wine.
- A lot of tannins (decanting is recommended).
- Spicy and robust.
- This is a wine that is better enjoyed with a meal than on it’s own.
- This is definitely a wine that needs to be accompanied by a meal. It is like going to a football game by yourself…it is enjoyable to do, but much more fun with company.

This wine is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Cabernet Sauvignon from Northern Spain. |

- Must be decanted, preferably a long time (40min).
- Right out of the bottle it is harsh but when decanted it is very smooth and easy to drink.
- Earthy flavors, bold.
- Light bouquet.
- Probably would have been a 4 trophy wine if it did not need to be decanted. For those without a decanter it is recommended that you let it breath. So with that being said…this wine is like the geeky college nerd you see on every campus…but once you take the glasses off and let the hair down…WOW…GRRRRRR.

- Very simple, easy drinking wine.
- Not a lot of depth.
- Robust but not very complex flavors.
- This wine is like a girl you met at a bar, had some drinks with but didn’t want her phone number. She’s good to hang out with, but you don’t want to commit.
