Arrocal

Ribera del Duero, Cuatro meses en barrica. 05 ; $12 BevMo

Paired with a bleu cheese (Denmark's Finest). A little black fruit on the nose. Med-Full body with a lingering finish. Tastes very similar to a zinfandel or petit syrah. Not overwhelmingly fruity, more spicy. Paired very well with the cheese and I'd purchase again although it's not a wine that I'd recommend to others unless a strong cheese were involved.
