Grego 2004 Old Vines Tempranillo Spain
2008-04-14 00:32:00 It?s a wine that is got no real off-notes but not much to crow about either. It?s a wine that?s most like a cab more than anything else. If that?s your ?bag? give it a try. Best with dinner than for just sipping. But at this price, better buys might be had else where. Check our best of list.... read more
Tempranillo (Tem prawn eee yo)
2008-04-04 14:06:00 I purchased this wine a few months ago in a 6 pack of interesting wines I ordered from Domaine547 in my search for different things to review. The wine was a 2006 Dehesa Gago Tempranillo from Toro, Spain. The wine cost me $12.99 (a steal), had a real cork closure and clocked in at 14.5% alcohol by volume. I also want to try the Tinto de Toro that Domaine547 has available from the same producer!The nose of the wine showed currants, dark cherries, and pepper. The nose was slightly sweet smelling and very fruity. In the mouth I found blueberry, currants, dark fruit, and spices.Overall the wine was smooth and dark and very yum. We drank this by itself, but it seemed to lend itself well to being food friendly and could easily match with lots of different things. Especially at the price, this is a great every day wine for dinner!

Hanging around the Domaine
2007-10-18 13:35:00 *Disclaimer: I received this wine in a sample pack from Domaine547 for my review.Domine 547 that is. The wine was a 2003 Vinas del Cenit Tempranillo, Castilla y Leon, Spain. Specifically from Vino de la Tierra de Zamora. The bottle had a real cork closure and is available from Domaine 547 for $19.99. Matt tossed the bottle before I could record the alcohol content, sorry folks. It's actually made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, which might be a first for me, many have something else blended in!On the nose the wine was smoky with blackberries and black currants being the predominant fruits that showed through. The blackberry was big and jumped out of the glass. I also found spices, espresso, and bitter chocolate. The nose was very complex and once again Matt tried to steal the wine away from me! In the mouth the wine was silky. Blackberries, black cherries, anise, dark chocolate, and coffee came through in the flavor of the wine.The smokiness of the wine was very unique. It ...

It comes from the Navarra region in Spain. Similar to the Osborne Solaz Tempranillo Blend, I again was pleased with this compared to most pure Tempranillo that I ...
Osborne Solaz Tempranillo Blend
2007-07-28 00:00:00 Today has been an exciting wine day. In part because I tried Osborne Solaz Tempranillo Blend for the first time (yummy). But that's not all. The Wine Blogging Wednesday #35 roundup was published (with my first appearance) and the topic for WBW #36 was announced -- Let's Get Naked. No that's not what ...

Castoro Cellars Reserve Tempranillo 2005 Trio - $48.99
2007-07-19 19:02:00 Many American winemakers liven up their humdrum offerings with a dash of pseudo-Italian or faux French character, prying open their customers? wallets with a continental crowbar. But there?s more to European-style wine than those two tricolors. What about the land of toreadors and friars, of Pablo Picasso and Penelope Cruz? These three bottles of Castoro Cellars Reserve Tempranillo 2005 hearken to the Rioja winemaking traditions of Spain, who were into California when California wasn?t cool. In a mere doce años, husband-and-wife team Niels and Bimmer Udsen have grown Castoro from a hobby into a 20,000-case operation, recently purchasing their own vineyards and even growing their own cork trees. The winery name is the Italian word for ?beaver?, a nickname Niels acquired when he was travelling in Italy with his parents Ward and June. There is no truth to the rumor that he chops the wood for Castoro Cellars? oak barrels with his teeth. ¿Como cuál es este Tempranillo? It?s rich, but...

2007-02-20 22:25:00 Ya empezamos a acostumbrarnos a las gratísimas sorpresas enológicas que, periódicamente, nos viene deparando la nueva vitivinicultura manchega.
