Wait… A tempranillo from Texas? And it’s awesome? You read that right. While I might not have guessed it was a tempro, this potent red enhanced a plate of Italian veal parmigiana and kept on giving long after the plate disappeared. Nose is not overpowering, with hints of blackcurrant and spice, but on the palate it’s a bold and in-your-face red that would stand shoulder to shoulder with a fat cab. Fun game: serve this to your wine snob pals and see how many say this is a South American red. Recommended. (No year on the bottle.)
