So first let me say this; after opening the bottle let it sit for a while, if you are in need of instant gratification have a bottle of the Little Penguin Cabernet Sauvignon–Shiraz handy, drink that, then return to this Tempranillo later. if you follow my instructions you will be very pleased. This wine was $3.99 a Trader Joe's and at that price you could buy a case. Here is what the winemaker has to say about their wine:"La Granja means in Spanish "the farm 360" it is located in a traditional temper in the low great wine growing region in the north of Spain. The little piggy is flying because it expresses a song which the Spanish children sing when somebody has asked for something which is impossible to realize, has a dream or says something absurd. And every day drinking soft rounded juicy red wine, with rich ripe raspberry flavors. A great match to barbecue roasted pork chops, spareribs, sausages, and grilled vegetables and cheeses."
