Winery Review:   El Pensador stirs the senses and brings your palate to light. Iconic in style with a Spanish flair, this wine is fashionably sophisticated yet playful.  Let our Tempranillo guide you through the verses with aromatic ripe strawberry and red cherry fruit flavors. Enlightening aromas of spice and juicy plum elevate the palate.

My Review:  This Tempranillo has a dark cherry hue. I detected notes of tobacco, spice and pepper on the nose.  This is full bodied red that has well balanced acidity and tannins that leave your mouth puckering for more.   My mouth was alive with flavors of Tobacco, black pepper and spice.  The finish was smooth with a lingering spicy taste.  I recommend this Tempranillo to anyone looking for a spicy and smooth red !
