Wine o' the week

Since I won't be here (you can't see me, but I'm holding my hands up and saying, "SPRING BREAK '07!! WHOOOOO!"), I will post the wine o' the week today. My selection is Campo Viejo's Tempranillo Reserva. Here's what it's like:
Aroma:Fragrant nose in which fruit and also floral aromas dominate, over a background of toasted wood and aromas of vanilla, coconut and spices.
Palate:Smooth and balanced palate. Its lovely, persistent finish is an invitation to continue enjoying it. Food Pairing:It goes well with a wide range of pairings: charcuterie, rice dishes, vegetables, mushrooms, white meat and roasted or grilled red meat.
Read more about Tempranillo in this article. It's really quite good. This one retails around $10. Mmmm.
What do you guys want to see more of in the wine o' the week.... more whites? More expensive wines? Let me know and I'll do my best!

A fancy (and by fancy I mean expensivo) one would be fun to see once or twice, but I do appreciate the economical ones that you have been showcasing lately because those are usually all I can afford anyway. Yea for wine!
