Why Tempranillo in the land of Cabernet? For one thing it just plain tastes great and you really don’t need to know a thing about wine tasting to enjoy it… since very few folks know what it is, its hard to be intimidated by it. In fact, if you bring Tempranillo to a party or pour it for friends at dinner, you’ll probably know more about it than they do- especially if you read this blog. It’s unusual in this county
and that’s a pity since it makes a wine that’s very easy to pair with an enormous variety of foods and it frequently is approachable to drink whether just bottled or well aged. Oh yeah, let’s not forget that since it lacks the popularity and “prestige” of Cabernet, there are a ton of killer wines available for great prices.

So what does Tempranillo taste like? Well, at its best think of Pinot on steroids but with more earth and more intense berries. In a lighter style its often bright cherries with a touch of dusty tannin. Easy to drink with whatever happens to be on your dinner plate right now.
