Tempranillo is an early ripening Spanish red grape which makes up the vast vast majority of Spanish wines.  Here I've tried 3 different 100% Tempranillo wines, all quite good with medium body, medium tannins, medium fruits.  It's no wonder this is such a good all around wine and all around grape.  All these wines score 6 out of 10 for upper average: 1) Montecillo, Crianza, 2005, 2) Cacho, 2006, 3) Paso a Paso, 2006.  Watch for more Tempranillo reviews in the near future.  Both Nancy and I really like these wines at a just $8 to $15 in cost they're really good buys.
