2009 Luna Roja Tempranillo gives a medium garnet-purple color and some reduced rubber and tar notes that soon give way to black cherry, warm strawberry, earth and cardamom. Crisp with a medium-high level of chewy, somewhat coarse tannins, this full-bodied Tempranillo has plenty of red berry flesh and a long finish. Drink it now and over the next 4-5 years.
