This is the first of February's month of "World Wines You'll Love" I was stunned by this La Mancha wine--it's 100% tempranillo, and I bought it as an impulse buy when really in the mood for something from Spain a few months back. It's not a cheap bottle, retailing in the ballpark of $20 a bottle. However, this is a case where you indeed get what you pay for. Its dry, complex taste kept unfolding with wonderful earthy flavors. Some mineral flavors, but also tobacco and gentle spice. Anyone who likes California Cabs should try this and see if Spain can't pack a punch in a bottle of red. Would pair wonderfully with steak, lamb, pork, or even a chef salad.
