Tapeña Tempranillo

I have to stop buying potentially good wines to take to parties, because the last few I've taken have, in fact, been so good that the bottle is empty before I can thoroughly evaluate the wine.
Last night on the way to a friend's gathering, I stopped by one of my favorite wine stores to buy an inexpensive bottle. In the foyer, was a sign advertising Tapeña wine, a tempranillo that Robert Parker has given a 90 point rating. With a price point of $8.99, I just had to try it.
I thought it was very good. I will have to buy it again so that I can provide a description, but I think it is worth recommending. It has a nice balance of berry flavor and is not too fruity, as some tempranillos can be. According to their website, Tapeña wines should be available all over the country by now, so check it out.
