Two of my favorite wine growing regions right now, both in price and quality, are Argentina & Spain. I had this little beauty for the second time last night and wow was I impressed! I'm a big fan of full body, fruit forward, dense wines and this didn't disappoint. The tannins were very mild, perfect if your tannin averse like my Dad or brother. At only $9.50 a bottle this is one outstanding value. (I must point out I am a completely unbiased reviewer here, I have no relationships with vineyards or distributors from which these wines come.) Pair this with some bloody meat or stinky cheeses!
The Wine Advocate, who's name I seem to utter a lot recently, gave this wine a 90; just on price alone, I have to give it a 91-92 (too bad price isn't a part of the ranking equation). Here's what he had to say:
"The 2004 Senorio de Valdehermoso Joven is an unoaked cuvee of 100% Tempranillo. According to the proprietor, 2004 was one of the best vintages in many years and this effort certainly supports that claim. Purple in color, it exhibits aromas of smoke, plum, and spice. The fruit is sweet and layered, supported by well integrated tannin into a lengthy finish. It is a sensational value"
Drink up and let me know what you think?
Cheers!
