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.
