"This is a substantial wine with a spicy, lightly herbal aroma and lots of fruit flavors that spread across the palate. It is medium to full-bodied, has a smooth texture and a good dose of raspberry-like acidity that keeps it fresh."
My Review:
I really liked this New World Tempranillo, but I don't have anything to base it off of yet. It was definitely different than most of the other reds I had tasted, but it was similar to the Malbec, in my opinion. It had a light body with a "5 second finish", which is probably on the shorter side, but my comparisons aren't quite there yet. Raspberry and spice flavors were throughout and present in the finish. I thought it was balanced pretty well, but had a little bit of extra acidity. Next I look forward to a Tempranillo from Rioja, hopefully.
