2012 Radio Boka Tempranillo

This Tempranillo is all about the fruit. Notes of cherry, rasberry and blackberry.  Once you dig through all of the fruit, there’s a bit of spice, but very minimal.  Grippy tannins and jammy fruits dominate the palate while I was left searching for something else to really enhance this wine.  Not bad, but Spain is capable of so much more.  Drink now with spaghetti and meatballs or burgers.
