Aged in French and American oak barrels. Could use some more time. Dark cherry but slightly rubbery. Medium tannins. Definitely works in and with our French onion soup!

Love that label. This was a fun and strange Tempranillo to try. Had a bit of a baked fruit vibe on the finish. Ripe fruit smells. Didn’t exactly remind me of Spanish or CA Temp, but it was a very drinkable bottle at a decent price.

A little cherry heavy but would definitely buy again.

Celebrating Texas Wine Month with a little comparative tasting of what I think to be Texas’ best red varietal. I followed these over the course of a few days to see how they ended up. For me, this epitomizes many people’s thoughts about TX wine. The nose is heavy on oak and sweet red fruit. More acidic than I expected. Palate is fairly flabby. Finish is one dimensional and very reminiscent of those cherry sour candies. As a Tempranillo, this felt too thin and had very little spice to it. If tasted blind, I would have guessed a watered down Meiomi Pinot. For about $15 and it being a home state wine, it gets the job done, but not anything to write home about.

Great smoky aromatics with a fruity cherry or plum finish. Doesn’t hit the mark for me as a Tempranillo.
