My last Wednesday Wine Committee to attend this year. Quite the lesson in Spanish wines! As always, all wines are tasted blind.

Young? Yes. But the nose was to die for. Sweet American oak notes of dill and coconut. Needs another 5 years to come together, but for the price, this is a nice value. Great blackberry, boysenberry, and charred cedar notes.

Very nice. Bought at a wine tasting last fall. Was a popular one amongst many.

Dark fruits, makes your mouth water, tannic but not overly so, blackberries and red currants--particularly tart...herbs?
