Doble de Diez 2017 Tempranillo Spain

Description

A classic Spanish wine: red-fruited, medium tannins, subtle notes of tobacco and dried violets. The Doble de Diez is one of the new summer favorites at Firstleaf. Sometimes there is nothing that hits the spot like a strong Spanish red paired with classic tapas under the summer sun. The mix of fruit and silky texture make this a vibrant, youthful take on the Old-World style. The savory tannins make a great contrast to the texture of red meat, so consider trying it with a steak before you move on to the more complex Spanish pairings. We have loved it with beautiful cuts of Jamón and Albóndigas. Judges love it too! It took home 92 points and a Gold medal at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge.
