Rivarey Tempranillo, 2006 
This is a value wine from the Rioja region of Spain. This is a Crianza, or young wine, that is meant to be enjoyed in its youth. This wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of black berry, cherry and citrus zest. This is a medium bodied wine with a modern style of fresh fruit, crisp acidity and smooth tannins. The flavors are dominated by raspberry, black plum, kiwi and holiday spice. There is no evidence of oak, but the smooth tannins are complimented by some marshmallow and black pepper. The finish is velvety and quite long. This is an excellent wine to sip with a cheese platter and some Marcona almonds. We purchased this easy drinking Tempranillo from Esquin, in Seattle, for about $9.
