David: Medium to dark purple in color. Nose of red fruit, smoke, wet stone, pastry bread. Medium bodied, medium acidity. Black cherry fruit, grape juice and berries. Mellow. Not too exciting but tasty enough. Typical Spanish red.
Score 3.8/5

Vina Gormaz Tempranillo - 2009 - $9
100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, 50 year old vines. Unoaked.
David: Dark purple in color. Has that distinctive Tempranillo nose; mountain berry mixed with stinkiness. Loamy soil and blackberry. Full bodied, medium acidity, concentrated ripe fruit followed by a little spiciness. Silky and mild tannins. Finish is quite long and nice. A good value.
Score: 4.0/5
Jessica: Good.
Score 3.9.
