Another terrific wine (keep in mind that you can probably find these wines for less than $9 a bottle) is the 100% Tempranillo 2014 Vega Sindoa Tempranillo. This is a naked, unoaked example of Tempranillo meant to be drunk in its first one to two years of life. Made almost like an unoaked Pinot Noir with soft, easy, red currant and pomegranate fruit notes, and a touch of darker currants, the wine is medium-bodied, dark ruby, fresh and straightforward, but delicious. Drink it over the next 1-2 years.

Smoky and tarry notes frame modest cherry and grapey flavors in this light red. Leafy notes balance the slightly candied character. Drink now. 4,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Navarra Select to Add
