Campo Viejo, Rioja (Spain) Tempranillo 2010

Apr 18, 2012

By Marguerite Thomas

 Light on the palate and the wallet, this easy-drinking wine has uncomplicated red fruit flavors, a hint of vanilla and a touch of spice.  Its very simplicity is one thing that makes this a good wine to go with unfussy foods, including barbecued chicken and sausages, as well as vegetarian dishes such as Moussaka.  I recently found it to be a dynamite accompaniment to some pepperoni pizza a friend of mine made.
