A $15 Steal from Spain....

The 2008 Volver from the La Mancha region in Spain, is made from 100% Tempranillo. This is about as serious as a $15 bottle can get. Notes of plum and black cherries are present with a nice full feeling on the palate. The tannins aren't as harsh as one might expect, very drinkable now, and probably can be found cheaper by the case.

  2. Thanks, Phil. I didn't see this comment until now. I went to Napa with some friends about 8 years ago and have had the "bug" ever since.
