Linda from the Sahali Liquor Store brought in a Spanish Red Blend that combines Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin: tart red berried fruit, laced with tobacco and dried herbs on the dry, crisp finish. This is a superb classical Rioja Crianza, and well priced at around $15 a bottle.
