Great Wine for such a bargin

Dsc_00412004 Mazzaron is a Tempranillo from Spain. 

We have really enjoyed this smokey red wine–it’s ready to drink now.   

Robert Parker has rated it at 88 points.   Stephen
Tanzer gave this an 89.    Wine Spector was stingy with 86 points.   We would rate it at least 88, if not 89.   

Last I checked, it was on sale at Metropolitan Market for just over $12.00!

It’s such a bargin, we just had to share it with you!
