Winery Review: Red
Guitar Tempranillo is a rich and smooth celebration of the Spanish lifestyle, la
buena vida — the good life. Our approachable everyday red wine blend pays
respect to an authentic Spanish creation, the guitar, in a modern and carefree
style. Our prized old vines of Tempranillo and Garnacha dig deep into the
gravel soils of Navarra, Spain, to produce wines of incredible character and
quality, year after year.
My Review: There is rich smoky and mocha aroma to
this wine with a hint of floral and dark berry. This is a full bodied dry wine that is dark
burgundy in color. The tannins and acids
are well balanced and the finish is of black pepper. This red has a lot of personality with left
my palate with a spicy tabasco taste that made me crave for more. I enjoyed this wine with smoked Gouda. This was an excellent pairing as the smoky taste
of the wine enhanced the deep smoky flavors in the Gouda. It also gave the cheese a creamy texture and
nutty aftertaste. I highly recommend
this wine to anyone who loves a spicy and peppery wine. I recommend paring it with smoked Gouda or a
spicy dish!
