2005 Martin Codax Tempranillo Ergo Rioja
($12) Bright red. Fresh red berry aromas are peppery and straightforward, with a hint of dried flowers adding complexity. Light and juicy, with fresh strawberry and cherry preserve flavors, very light tannins, and a crisp, refreshing finish. Serve this tasty Rioja lightly chilled.
