Nice blend! Lightweight, fruity, and aromatic. Not too acidic after decanting.

Solepeñas - Tinto (2009?)

Feliz Solis - Solepeñas
Tinto - Vino de Mesa
Andalucia, Spain (2009?)

A little table wine picked up at the grocery store. I was not expecting mucho, but how I underestimated table wines in gereneral in Spain. Even the inexpensive ones are worth mentioning! This one is a traditionally made table wine and has the typical dark red colour and medium bodies red-fruit. In particular a little grenadine. It went well with fish, cheese, and salad.

Campo Viejo - Tempranillo (2009?)

Campo Viejo
Tempranillo, Rioja (Denominacion de Origen Controlado)
Logrono, Spain (2009?)

Undated bottle of wine I picked up at the grocery store in Jerez de la Frontera. Worth every Euro I spent on it, and more! Rich, ruby red wine with great legs. Dry and fruity it paired very well with a local goat cheese.
