Paso A Paso 2009 Tempranillo


This wine from the La Mancha region of Spain is simply Tempranillo done right. It's nose is spectacular, and it has a muscular and dry body with leather and dusty flavors. Not overly spicy but a decent kick. Good with food, especially a sharp cheddar cheese or crackers, but delightful all by itself. Across the board, great quality and value.
