Nice nose of berry with a bit of cocoa. Smooth and agreeable. Good flavors of fruit, berry, maybe plum or cherry. Slight tart finish. Low tannins but enough. Nice balanced, flavorful wine. And it's local to me too. . .

Ópera Prima Tempranillo 2008
13%
Bottled by: J. Garcia Carrion La Mancha, S.A., Daimiel (Ciudad Real), España
Imported by: CIV, Sacramento, CA.
Alcohol, a bit floral, and licorice on the the nose. Decent violet and crimson color. Supple and wet with tastes of plum and berry. Tannins and a bit tart in the finish. Drinkable but sort of plain and boring. Young, so maybe it needs some time.

Casa Solar Tempranillo 2007
Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, Central/Eastern Spain, 13%
Bottled by: Cosecheros y Criadores, Established 1889.
Imported by: CIV Sacramento, CA.
Selected by Lauren Rosillo.
Ink, violets and a little sweet on the nose. Smooth easy to drink but not exactly "soft" in the mouth. Bit of bitter and wood shavings with the fruit and lavender flavors. However has a pretty clean finish; flavors linger a bit but the tongue feels refreshed. Almost crisp. Definitely a, "good-with-food" wine. Not as robust and deep as many Spanish but a good deal for $5. Cool label. Quality wine.

Arco Iris Tempranillo 2006
Apellation Vino de la tierra de Castillo y Leon, Spain, 12.5%
100% Tempranillo.
Produced and bottled by Bodegas Fariña
Imported by Hand Picked Selections, Warrenton, VA
Fruit there but subtle. Minor tannins for Tempranillo. A bit floral in taste. Better after a day or two with air in it. Rich fruit with the slight black tea element of good Tempranillo.
