2006 Riscal Tempranillo - $6

A feint nose of wild grass and a light, peppery taste (not to mention the screw cap) make this an easy drinking wine. This wasn't near as good on the second day, so drink it up before you go to bed.

2008 La Granja 360 Tempranillo - $3.99

Reviewing the bottom of the bottle after having it been open and VacuVin sealed for a couple days reveals the following: A great deep ruby color (which is not at all showcased by my backlight heavy picture). Earthy nose with a solid dose of black licorice. Dry and slightly tannic on the tongue. Feint taste of stale cinnamon and cocoa, but in a good way. A definite bargain that I'll be buying again soon.
