Spain (Castilla y Leon)
I must apologize for not having postings over the past few weeks. Life, work, travel and such has got in the way. Non-the-less, I’m back!
It’s not often you think a six dollar bottle of wine is going to do anything for you but I’m never shy to give it try. Worst case is I use it for a London broil marinated if I don’t like it. Well this Tempranillo-Shiraz never made it to a marinated! It was quite the surprise given its price point!
With aromas of cedar, leather and black pepper spice, I had an idea this wine wasn’t going to be boring. Flavors of blackberry, plum and a hint of strawberries gave this a nice fruit forward taste. On the finish I’d say it had medium tannins with a trace of black pepper. The blend is 85% Tempranillo, 15% Shiraz. It’s definitely an easy drinking wine to go with Italian or Spanish foods. I found this wine at Sam’s club.
