Tempranillo from Australia must be a hard sell given the number of excellent as well as reasonably priced Tempranillos that are imported from Spain, but this 2005 Tempranillo is unquestionably a good one. Its deep ruby color is accompanied by pleasant berry fruit, a touch of earthiness, ripe tannin, decent acidity, moderate alcohol (13.8%), and a crisp, refreshing style. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
