Purple in color. The nose is tight but with air shows some black cherries. On the palate, this has sweet fruit/dark cherries. It is modern in style and a fruit forward Tempranillo. It retails for around $22. Plan on drinking it in the next five years or so. It is a very tasty wine. Good value as well.

This is a Tempranillo wine. Deep ruby in color. The nose has cherries,black cherries and baking spice. Also some dustiness. On the palate, this has a nice texture. It is warm and dusty with black cherry fruit. Some complexity. Nice finish. This will still get better but it is drinking well right now. Another few years and it should be close to peak. It will go well with roasts and grilled meats.
This is one of the great wines of the world. It is 100% Tempranillo (locally called Tinto Fino). This particular bottle was a magnum! Wow. It is still quite young and probably could have used a 24 hour decant. That said, it was gorgeous. Purple in color.
Wow. This is smoking right now. Probably at or very close to peak but should stay there for a decade. Ruby in color. The nose is great with cherries, sandalwood, dust and a bit of dry earthiness. On the palate, this has great balance. Good acidity. Light tannins. Complex with layers of cherries, slight dried cherries, spice and earth. It does have a slight roasted quality but not in the fruit just a sort or arid quality (terroir?). Absolutely great with food. This wine is not inexpensive but worth buying 2 bottles; one to drink soon and one to lay down.
This was quite popular at our Intowine.com tasting. It is a young wine from Spain made from Tempranillo. Ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose has black cherries, sea air and just a bit of woodiness. On the palate, this has a nice balance. Light with silky tannins. The wine flutters on the palate. Soft with black cherries and just a bit of anise. It is very tasty with some depth and complexity. It won't get better than this and should be consumed in the next few years.
This is made from Tempranillo. Ruby/purple in color. The nose is dusty with black cherries. On the palate, the black cherries carry thru. A slight dill note. Still firm tannins. Nice finish. This is still young at 14 years from vintage and certainly seems to have some upside. It is a big, forward wine but a bit still in the shell. If drinking now, give it a nice decant.
