The 14.3% alcohol listed seems a little low; it has some heat, cost about $20, and scored 15 points on the 20-point Dionysian scale.
It was bottle number 786 of 1,186 as the hand-written back label notes. Sadly, there is no other information about the grapes, vineyard age, or oak used ,so it’s hard to judge it.
It was floral, and deep purple; in color, almost as if it had another grape in it to add color; if you drink a lot of Spanish Tempranillo, you’d find this California fruit bomb so much different. The Bronze score is for current drinking. At nine years old, we expected more classic Spanish aromas and mouth-feel; but it was just over-extracted, however, it still received a good score. In Vino Veritas.
