Martin Codax, Spain (Spain) 2018

 This juicy, eminently drinkable Spanish red offers up bright red fruit tones suggesting that Garnacha and Tempranillo might be prominent players in the blend, but this isn’t a wine to ponder so much as one to just enjoy for its open fruit notes (red and black cherries, predominantly) and soft structure.  There’s enough tannic grip to enable this to stand up to moderately robust foods, but not so much as to preclude enjoying this as a stand-alone sipper.
