El Guapo - 2010; Alamosa Wine Cellars; Bend, Texas


Yes, this vintage of El Guapo will make you sing.  This lovely Tempranillo blend is a great wine that leaves a lasting impression. Mixed with Tempranillo (72%), Graciano (20%, Garnacha (5%), you'll see a nice ruby color during the first pour.  Aromas of cherries and roses awaken your senses as you inhale the beautiful bouquet.  There are moderate tannins in this five year old lady with hints of tobacco to delight the palate.  A distinct earthiness is inherent in this long lasting dry finish, leaving you longing for more. It's quite a lovely wine to pair with rib-eye, burgers, and more.  Of course, you could just drink this one on its own to enjoy the full flavors this quality work of art. Savor every last bottle as if it was your last and know that popping the cork on this one was well worth it!  Enjoy!!
