Pedro Pergolas Crianza Old Vines Tempranillo
2006 Vintage
Tasted: November 2010
For $12 this is a great value where I come from. The BC Liquor pricing is undoubtedly higher than in the USA and of course in Spain. This wine smells like a strawberry Jolly Rancher mixed with a subtle hint of farm dirt. The taste is of ripe berries and a little earthy goodness. The finish is long and the acid is good. I’d be curious to age this wine for a while and see how it turns out.
This is a medium body Tempranillo fit for drinking on its own or pairing with everything from fish to meat.
This is probably the wine you bring to the dinner where you want to bring something decent, but don’t want to spend a lot of money for fear that your less wine savvy friends won’t appreciate your expensive gesture. Pedro Pergolas solves that problem for you as nobody would ever know that you cheaped out.
Overall this one is versatile and cheap. I like it and consider it an excellent buy.
