Elefante Tempranillo Shiraz 2010 Magnums $89.40 ($7.45 Per Standard Bottle/ $14.90 Per Magnum) + $9 Del @ VinoMofo

40

I like to think of tempranillo as the easier drinking buddy of Rioja, and boy do I love Rioja (and Portugese red wines, but damn they're hard to get hold of).

Here are 6 magnums of tempranillo shiraz (1 magnum = 2 standard bottles) with a 90 point rating (Huon Hooke, Tyson Stelzer). ~70-80% Tempranillo, 20-30% Shiraz. More info on the wine is here (it covers 2011 instead of 2010 but similar):

I'd consider it a good drop for a party, or a glass (or 2) with a meal. Nothing fancy, just easy drinking wine. You can find the 2011 vintage available elsewhere to buy, but it's very hard to find this 2010 vintage.

If you are ordering for the first time, please use the link below for $25 off your first order (I'll also receive $25 in credit):

    You missed the free shipping deal clearly. I used it and the $20 survey credit, which came down to $11.56 per magnum.

    The wine is decent, but I've had better tempranillo that admittedly cost significantly more. For the price, its a steal but I'm only going to open the magnums with guests as finishing one off on weeknights before it oxidised was a pleasant challenge.

    • Ahhh, the good ol' days of survey credits. :) Yeah seems I'm late to the party, as hadn't noticed it before. Magnum challenges hey? lol.

  • not a bad wine for bbq and a glass after work.

  • Rioja is comprised mostly of tempranillo.

    Just a heads up if you like Rioja wine, Aldi has a Baron Amarillo Rioja Reserva 2008 for $10 which is pretty decent.
