This wine was OK. It fit the bill as something cheap and drinkable, but for just $2-3 more there are so many better options, especially among Spanish wines. In the $7 range, I would highly prefer the red from La Vieille Ferme.

I drank a couple of glasses of the El Prado last night after dinner, and Krista and I finished it off tonight with spaghetti. The aroma and taste were mostly raspberry and blackberry and it had a reddish purple color. The description on the label is misleading. It's described as a full-bodied wine, when really it's on the light side of medium-bodied. It's even a little watery at first, but then settles in to a more medium body style.

It was worth a shot for the price, but I probably won't be buying this wine again anytime soon.
