Finca Venta Don Quijote Syrah Tempranillo 750ml

This 50/50 blend of tempranillo and syrah comes from central Spain's La Mancha and the J. Fernando family. They used to sell their grapes to other wineries but recently banded together to produce their label. Dark and wild florals on the nose lead to a greener, peppery, pinched palate, with powdery tannins supporting bitter cocoa, sappy and tart blackberries, to a short finish. Less friendly than hoped.
