Stumbled across this at Sam's Club a few days ago and was intrigued enough to try a couple of bottles. Back label shows 80% Tempranillo and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in American oak for two years.

Nose of aged Cab... black currants, cigar ash and dark chocolate. Burst of Cab on the palate, red fruits chiming in, dark cherries and more dark chocolate on a nice long finish. Alkie is 13%, price was $16 and change, worth twice that. With "cowboy pot-roast"..... beef pot-roast cooked in a crock pot for six hours with Ro-Tel tomatoes, onions, dunno what-all... but mouth-watering tender. Perfecto pairing. Will run, not walk, to mortgage whatever ain't nailed down to buy more.
