CESAR PRINCIPE RED CIGALES 2021, Spain

Opened this with some chorizo and manchego, and the bright cherry notes paired perfectly. It’s got a nice smoky depth without being heavy, really smooth finish.

The smoky dark cherry notes came through beautifully with some grilled chorizo. This is a solid, smooth Tempranillo that's perfect for a casual weeknight dinner without breaking the bank.

Opened this with a plate of jamón ibérico and it was a perfect match—the smoky dark cherry notes really came through against the salty ham. That bright acidity cleaned the palate nicely between bites. Solid bottle for a casual evening.
