Smells: Nothing...? I mean...wine? Sour?
Tastes: Erm...sour? Especially after awhile there was a definite sour milk taste and smell.
Retail: $13.99
Buy again?: Ugh, no.
I'm not even going to bother with a picture. This was just gross.

Pedernales Cellars Tempranillo 2011
Smells: Eucalyptus, woody herbs (lavender, thyme), cedar, spice, leather & Coolwater cologne. After an hour a cooked cherry, cooked berry jam note came through. Also a jerky/smoked meat smell.
Tastes: Baking/Christmas spice, jerky, tamarind, black cherry. Medium-heavy body, beautiful tannins.
Thoughts: Yum! We drank this with raspberries, proscuitto, cheese, and Marcona almonds and it was all delicious. Though, what I really wanted to eat with it was a steak.
Retail: $19.99
Worth it?: YES. Such a delicious wine, and it evolves so well in the glass. This could hold up to any of the Spanish Tempranillos I've tasted in the same price range. Even better, honestly.
