Red Wine, Celeste Crianza, 2009 Spain- Tempranillo

Hey folks it’s been a while, hopefully you enjoyed the last wine review. I love dabbling and experiencing new wines. It’s exciting to see the bottle, read the tasting notes and wonder where the wine will take me.

This time I stumbled on this Celeste Crianza at Kroger. It was about 16 bucks and had a 93 rating point from wine critic, Robert Parker. I thought hmmm, 93 points, this must be good and less than 20 dollars, even better; so of course, I threw it in my shopping cart.

I was pleasantly surprised! What a great Tempranillo, it was nice and smooth. I would describe it as medium bodied with a very nice dark violet color. I am definitely getting the dark fruit; plums, cherries, and hint of pepper.  This wine is not a power-house, slap your mamma good wine but good nonetheless and worth buying. It definitely won’t disappoint and is an easy drinking, warm wine to enjoy with friends.  You can enjoy this one with a nice meal or all alone!

Yes, I would buy this again and think you will too.  I am looking forward to the next review.  If you have a wine you want me to try it, drop me a note!
