I am told this is Tempranillo Blanco. Very pale yellow gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is tight but with some air show both limes and peach. Interesting. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, it is somewhat candied with notes of lingonberries. Sorter finish. An interesting wine that would benefit from food. Sardines might be an excellent paring. Drink over the next year. 12% abv.
This is drinking well and seems to be at or possibly just pack peak. It is a pretty modern take on Tempranillo but with some bottle age it shows traditionally. Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, cedar and spice. Full bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, cherries with spice and slight smoke. Nice finish. This is ageing gracefully and doesn't seem almost twenty years old. That said, these should be drunk up at this point. Nice on its own but better with food. It would work 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 a Rosé from Spain that is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha. It is Salmon pink/copper in color, clear and bright. The nose is interesting with a slight orange/citrus note along with cherries, strawberries and a very slight vanilla note. (As an aside, both this and the Blanco had a vanilla note, but it does not appear the wines so oak, so where does it come from?). Medium bodied with a slightly oily texture. On the palate, lots of fresh cherries, some cranberries and slight red currants. A bitter almond note on the finish. This is refreshing and a lovely wine to serv
This is an inexpensive 100% Tempranillo grape from Spain. It is a modern take on this wine. Ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose has cherries and candied cherries with a slight herbal note. Medium bodied. On the palate, cherries. Simple and one dimensional but enjoyable. Moderate finish. Drink over the next year or two. Better with food, pizza is a nice choice.
One of the classic wines of Ribera del Duero! It is 100% Tempranillo that spends 18 months in American Oak and 6 months in bottle prior to release. 14.5% abv. Purple with ruby swirls, mostly clear and bright. The nose is great with clay, cherries, slight dill and a bit of roasted coffee. Medium bodied. Firm tannins. Great balance. The fruit is ripe but not overblown. On the palate, black cherries, anise and some cherries. A interesting menthol note on the finish. Considering the pedigree, this is a very fairly priced wine. Great on its own, it will work well with food as well.
