Tapena Tempranillo (Spain, 2006)

Category: Tempranillo — Mike @ 7:23 am

	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.
	$10 Purchased at Bashas

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.
