La Sima Tempranillo 2010
DO Manchuela, Spain $7.95 13.0% alcohol
Flavour laden, this has a dash of Bobal—a local grape—and way more than its fair share of outstanding value. Lively on the nose and palate, look for a steady stream of light-medium bodied red currant and cherry interwoven with spice and excellent tang throughout. It dishes up good balance and mouth feel with a dry finish and hints of cranberry. Good to sip or pair with thin-crust, gourmet pizza.
