I tried 3 different brands and all were very disappointing. I've yet to see a tempranillo blend on the shelves, but that might help it out a little. Great reviews, thanks for sharing! :) So true, the tempranillo is not very good on it’s own. I tried 3 different brands and all were very disappointing.

I did enjoy some of these wines, particularly the Raimat. However, most of them were slightly off balance to me. They could have been more balanced in a blend. That's just my impression. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to hunt them down and give them a try. Let me clarify my comment regarding Tempranillo on its own… I did enjoy some of these wines, particularly the Raimat.

Try a TORO wine made form "tinto de toro" (tempranillo) or a Ramierez de Guanuza from Rioja, more fruit than a Carmen Miranda Head dress. Tempranillo depending on the clone can produce wines of deep dark rich fruit, or light fragrant delicate reds. Great acidity and big flavors...I'll enjoy seeing what else you taste!
