Bodegas Abanico’s red offerings begin with the 2010 Sinfonia Tempranillo from Tierra de Castilla in La Mancha. Made from 70-year-old vines, it was aged for 2 months in French and American oak for added complexity. Aromas of cinnamon, clove, violets, and blackberry lead to a ripe, forward, spicy, uncomplicated wine ideal for pairing with pizza and burgers. Drink this very good value over the next 2-3 years.
