El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab



Name: El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab
Variety: Tempranillo/Cab
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Winery 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 Tempranillo provides wonderful spice and fruit, while the Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and depth with the beautiful use of oak.

My review: This was a really solid wine. It was balanced but didn’t have much going on in the nose at all. I was happy that the mouthfeel was much more luscious and pleasant than the last two. It was light on tannins and had some good ripe dark fruit flavor that you expect in a wine with some cab. I would drink this again for sure.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
