Tasting- El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab



Name: El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab
Variety: Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Spain
Region: N/A
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Wine Shop Review: Dark ruby in color with rich aromas of red fruit and light spices. It is a real knock-out with delicious flavors of dark cherries, blackberries and vanilla all perfectly integrated. The Tempranollo provides wonderful spice and fruit, while the Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and depth with the beautiful use of oak.
My Review: I thought that this wine had a spicy nose, with some slight cherry flavors present. Other than those two things, I found that this wine did not have a very open or great nose. I found that the wine was not very fruity, similar to the nose, with had spices present. I thought that the wine was very strong on the finish with very present oak and dirt. After swallowing I also got a slight vanilla flavor left in my mouth. I was not a fan of this wine, though.

I did not taste this wine with food.
