Tapena

[winophite]

Well, another novice post today for me. I've had miller time this afternoon, but with a pasta/marinera sauce/ turkey sausage dish my wife has prepared I thought I'd have some wine. Opened a Spanish 2006 "Tempena" of the tempranillo grape dinner will be ready soon, but have the wine open now! Real dark in the glass and very opaque, ruby at the rim. Fruity aroma, berryish, hint of cherry. light mouthfeel with a mild drying tannin in the back,silky. Pretty tasty overall and I suspect the bottle will be emptied soon, not allowing more notes. Simple wine yet interesting. 13% and about $13.00
