Sweet cherry and berry aromas are blended with cookie dough scents to create a simple, easy bouquet. The palate is a bit lean, with tight red-fruit flavors and a blast of citrus essence. Shows some kick and tannins at its core. 1 Note

Overall it’s a sweet, solid wine. Aromas of smoke, berry and marinade precede an avalanche of blackberry in the mouth. That same power pushes onto the finish, where warm pepper notes take over. A good warm-climate red from central Spain. Imported by Tasman Imports, Ltd. 1 Note

Smells like powdered cherry drink mix, and tastes like candied cherries, tomato and spice. Very familiar in its style; there’s sweet fruit, jumpy acidity and lots of drying oak. Not polished. Imported by Metrowine Distribution. 1 Note

With some leather, bramble and smoky dark fruit, this Cabernet-Tempranillo blend scores as an everyday steady. But to take it farther brings caveat emptor into play. Flavorwise, it’s got nice cherry and raspberry, and the finish deals vanilla and chocolate. Pleasant in every way. Imported by W. J. Deutsch & Sons. 1 Note

After tasting this wine over the past several years, it’s safe to say that this is the best version yet. It’s an 80/20 blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet, which shows good fruit and tree bark aromas, followed by a smooth palate that deals ample cherry and other dark fruits. Finishes rich and chewy despite having a modest pedigree and price tag. 1 Note

Known first for its Sherry, and second for its Port, Osborne is now making its mark with attractive still wines such as this excellent 80/20 Tempranillo/Cabernet blend. It cleverly bridges New and Old World styles, sending up seductive scents of dried fruits, meat, nutmeg and Spanish leather (wait, I hear a Dylan song in here somewhere!). But there’s good fruit in the core, and soft—not dusty—tannins to round out the finish. Drink now or wait five year. 1 Note

Medium-weight and approachable now, this Cab-Tempranillo from southern Spain offers juicy (though a little sour) red cherry and plum fruit, with smoke and char accents. Piquant red fruit and earth aromas waft from the nose. Try this at your next barbecue—at this price, how can you go wrong? 60,000 cases produced. 1 Note

Olive, roast plum and heavy berry aromas lead toward modest boysenberry flavors that show some weediness. The finish is tannic and hard, with a touch of red fruit as well as a burnt characteristic. 1 Note

A bit brown in color, with dry, baked aromas of balsamic vinegar and raspberry. The palate is kind of tart and tangy, while the finish is tight and acid-based. Not a lot of density or sweetness but still pretty good in a Old World sort of way. 1 Note

Solid as can be, with sweet-styled aromas of berry syrup and tire rubber. In the mouth, the wine shows juicy cherry and raspberry flavors in front of a lively finish. Throughout it shows good form and a bit more roughness than the Volteo varietal Tempranillo or the line’s Tempranillo-Shiraz blend. 1 Note
