The tempranillo is one of my favorite, and I believe underated wines. Tempranillo is made from a variety of black grape to make full-bodied red wine. The first time I had a tempranillo was on a visit to Napa and I fell in love with its bold flavors and everyday drinkability. A lot of casual wine drinkers have never ventured out of the cabernets and pinots, so I find this is a great addition to any social gathering.
The Campos Reales 2008 has a fresh aroma with a strong fruit flavor. It has a strong cherry essence and a strong finish, however this wine is very easy to drink in mass quantities which honestly is probably why I love it so much. As a poor girl trying to make her way in the advertising world, I would say the best part about this wine is the price point at less than $8 a bottle.

Full and very easy to drink, with an exceptionally full initial note of black pepper, which could be almost overwhelming. It finishes with a slight dryness and nice, bright cherry flavors. It really brought out the red chili flakes in homemade pasta sauce.

Nice easy red, well balanced. Would go well with anything. Great value.
