Wine of the Week | El Cortijillo 2011 [Red] Made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, this is low cost, easy drinking gem from La Mancha. There's no oak, just bright fresh fruit, clean & crisp. Very good and a terrific value. Bright cherry red color, not too dark. The nose is all fruit: cherry, raspberry & blueberry. On the palate it's a berry fruit cocktail with nice, crisp acidity. No rough edges, and a pleasure to drink. [$L] |
