2005 Bodegas Gormaz Vina Gormaz Tempranillo $16.99 WA90

2005 Bodegas Gormaz Vina Gormaz Tempranillo
Bodegas Gormaz
A Tempranillo Dry Red Table wine from
Ribera Del Duero, Castilla Leon

The 2005 Vina Gormaz Tempranillo, produced from 50+-year-old ungrafted Tempranillo vines, is as good a value as exists from the D.O. of Ribera del Duero. This unoaked wine is dark ruby-colored with aromas of earth, spice, mineral, plum, and black currants. This is followed by a medium-bodied, ripe wine, with layered flavors, light tannin, and good balance. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Buy this one by the case!
