Venta Morales Tempranillo 2009 - $6



David: Sourced from small vineyards with low yields in La Mancha of Don Quixote. Outrageous color. Bright magenta, the color of beets. Appears unfiltered. Nose is a little strange. Berries with copious amounts of vanilla. Also some orange peel, cinnamon, dried herbs and loamy soil character. A little stinky. Palate displays mulberry and raspberry fruits. Decent acidity. Fairly strong tannins with pretty good structure. Overall, a little hard to get past the nose. Has some good qualities but not really to my liking.
Score: 3.2/5
