If one grape rules Spain, it's Tempranillo. Iberian winemakers' fascination with this variety is endless. '89 pts. The 2008 Paso a Paso Tinto is 100% Tempranillo that spent six months in French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple, the nose offers up aromas of chalky minerality, violets, incense, and black cherry. Medium-bodied, it has a smooth texture, ripe, spicy, savory flavors. Exceptional value.' - Robert Parker
