Tempranillo is the major grape of the Spain’s Rioja region. We have found that the Tempranillo grape and our climate are an excellent match. Our Tempranillo is a regional favorite and regularly sells out within months of release. Be careful, it will seduce you." ~www.berryessagap.com
My brother in law gave us this wine for Christmas. He is attending grad school out in California and this wine is from a local winery.
This quite an aromatic wine, with a very intense flavor. It tends to be a bit on the bitter and acidic side, but it's nice on a cold winter day. I'm enjoying it this afternoon as I look out over the snow, but I think it would be best served with a nice piece of red meat.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
