Red fruit, sucking candy and milk chocolate cover the bouquet, but the palate is sharp and raw, with spiky, semisour raspberry and cherry flavors. There isn’t much to this wine. It’s sharp, edgy, elastic and lean. On the plus side, it’s clean.

A touch stalky on the nose, but after that it gets things mostly right. The fruit aromas and flavors are subdued, with jammy raspberry notes leading the way. There’s no overt burn or grating feel, and that’s good with inexpensive, niche-filling concept wines like this. Fine if you’re expectations are modest.

This seems like the best bet among the Tempra Tantrum lineup. The nose has vibrancy and good fruit content, while the palate is sizable and shows solid balance. Flavors of cherry and red plum are good, and the finish has some length.

Light berry aromas carry a citrusy edge, while the crisp palate is lean but clean, with dry, peppery plum and cherry flavors. There’s not too much body or complexity here; it’s juicy, a little metallic and highly regular. 60% Tempranillo and 40% Garnacha.

Catchy name but the wine is basic. The nose is lightly candied with a bit of green and brine. That pickled character translates to the palate, where flavors of cherry and berry are mildly briney. Finishes similarly, with some reedy heat.
