2006 "DIS-TINTO" 50% Tempranillo, 50% Syrah (Valencia, Spain)

This was a good, solid red for under $10.

Dark black ruby. Creamy caramel and dark fruit scents (blackberry and boysenberry). Full, with straightforward fruit, good balance, and nice texture. Zippo for complexity but direct and forceful. Good value. Was $9.95 at Central Market. 85.
