Albero Organic Tempranillo 2006


This fiesty tempranillo has a good deal of bite, along with some cherry and gravelly flavors. The nose itself is rocky and terse. Not unlike the great Billie Holiday, this wine has a tone and a style all its own, with a certain combination of roughness and refinement packed into one. I think this is a wine that makes a great deal of sense with Spanish cuisine: olives, bread with oil, almonds, cheese, etc. Wonderful for the price!
