Staff Pick Notes

This refreshing foot-trodden gem of a wine from Santiago del Teide on Tenerife is a lighter, easy drinking alternative to many heavier Spanish reds. Its fresh red fruit, floral, and black pepper flavors are seriously delicious Light in color and moderate in alcohol and body, this red is a true pleasure to drink.
