A linear wine, with fruit and spice plus a dash of vanilla, this Tempranillo’s reasonable price and easy-to-open screw-cap make it especially attractive. It’s a good match for a variety of foods such as burgers and chicken thighs. The refreshing tartness on the finish makes it a particularly good wine to accompany lamb chops.
