Pradorey Adaro Ribera del Duero 2020 Tempranillo Red Wine, $15.99-$32.99, 93 points, poured a rich and stunning ruby red with a blood red penumbra, bleeding meniscus, and dense stained legs.
The lovely aromas of cinnamon, cedar, and spiced cherry fruit were a bit smoky and herbal.
This Tempranillo was unusual for me, with a dry full body, firm grainy tannins, bright acidity, and rich herbal/spicy flavors nuanced with black cherry, it was more like a Left-Bank Cabernet Sauvignon.
Finished long on the trailing palate, a bit tart, showed hints of tobacco, iron, and cayenne pepper. Alcohol was 14.5% abv.
Paired perfectly with my spice-rubbed rib eye.
If you see this wine at this kind of price, you want a red wine for Mediterranean cuisine, and like a bit more tannin than Merlot or Malbec, GRAB it!
