Critic Review: Purple-black in color, with crimson hues, our Tempranillo has hit its stride this year. Its robust aromas of blackberry jam, forest fruit, cocoa and spice, coupled with its long finish, complete this wine. Enjoy the dry, dusty Tempranillo tannins, that combine with juicy flavors of blueberry pie and dark Bing Cherry.

My Review: A sweet cherry smell on the nose that comes at you with strong tart flavors and with enough tannins to pucker your mouth. Dark cherries and spices were also present, offering a very complex taste. I wasn't very fond of the long and dry finish of this wine, but it was still a rather good wine for me, I wouldn't mind having this wine some other day again.
