Vintage Cellar Review:
Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. It shows a nice cherry color with a violet shade because of its youth. Red berries and cherries on the nose. On the palate it is fresh, slightly astringent, and harmonious with a long finish.
My Review: The nose of this Tempranillo reminded me of a Shiraz I had last week - smoky and almost reminiscent of barbecue. Palate-wise, this wine reminded me of spicy cherries with a little bite at the end, but the alcohol didn't compete with the smokiness, it merely complimented it.
