Another wine in the current Fearless Flyer from Trader Joe's is Javier San Pedro Randez Rioja Tempranillo. Rioja is one of the oldest winemaking areas in Spain. It is located in northern Spain, south of the Cantabrian Mountains which help moderate the climate. Tempranillo is the most widely grown grape in Rioja.
I think this is a medium bodied red (Fearless Flyer says full bodied). I detected flavors of Raspberry and blackberry. The wine finishes with ample spicy tannins. I really liked the wine at first but was less enthusiastic on the second day. It is certainly a nice wine for $7.99 and I recommend that you try it.
SC Wine Joe rating = 88 points
