Got something to say?
A local grocery store called Food Lion which I happen to shop at almost everyday discontinued a large amount of name brand wines. I was able to pick up bottles of Faustino V for $8.00. One heck of a deal for this great Tempranillo.
The aroma of this Tempranillo was of Dark fruit with strong tingle on the nose of oak. Easy swallowing tannins make this wine great with dinner and or for social occasions. I would recommend it with a steak and fresh vegetables.
