2005 Red GuitarNavarra Old Vine
55% Tempranillo, 45% Grenache
This very spicy medium-bodied wine from Spain tastes like a hot, dry day in Madrid, and conjures up images of Piel de Sapo melon, the corrida on the TV in the afternoon, and the flamenco guitarist in front of the cathedral of Salamanca. The spiciness is, in fact, so pronounced, that it mounts into the nasal passages and warms up the entire face. The smooth body is either absent of fruit, or otherwise cloaked by the spiciness. This is a good inexpensive wine for "Old Vine" fans and fans of spicy wine.

I wouln't know spice from spit in wine, but I love love love this bottle's design and the name of the wine! That's how I choose wine - "I'll take the one with the pretty label." HA
Sadly--I agree with Christa.
I want to make a wine label collage, because some of them are very artistic and cool.
Oh in NYC I tried Merry Edwards Chardonnay and I loved it.
I have been wanting to try a Merry Edwards white for ever.
Good day kind sir.
