The "noble grape" of Spain

Bodegas Arrocal is run by a husband-and-wife-team that both come from long lines of vineyard owners and have put their wealth of knowledge and resources to great use. Their red is made entirely from Tempranillo for a spicy, dark, full bodied experience.

Read what Wine Advocate had to say after awarding Arrocal 90 points:

"The 2005 Arrocal is 100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in a mixture of new and used French and American oak. Purple-colored, it offers up fragrant aromas of cedar, spice box, blueberry, and blackberry. Supple-textured, the wine has gobs of sweet fruit, soft tannins, and excellent balance. Drink this outstanding value over the next 3-5 years."
