Decent but not outstanding in any way. Not much going on for me. Reasonable value.

Bought this based on previous vintages and was a bit disappointed. Decent but a bit expensive for what you get.

Very appealing. Aromas of caramel and black fruit. Tastes of black cherries, smoke, and likely other delights. 90-91

Started out nicely but I found this a bit hot which numbed the finish for me. Not a repeat buy.

Figuero Tinto 4 Tempranillo 2012 Bottle
Figuero Tinto 4 Tempranillo 2012
Ribera Del Duero, Spain
$9.90

Substantial red here, dark and fruity with reasonable oak. This needs a decant for sediment removal and some time to open up. Also needs a "big" dish to pair with. Great buy for $9.90 on the bin end sale, I bought 6 more. 88 plus another point for the value!

$15.75

This was a light bodied crisp chardonnay with little to no oak influence. Decent but perhaps overpriced. 88/89

I am not familiar with Bonarda however I did not find this to stand out in any way. Acceptable at best.
