Winery Review: 100% Tempranillo. Dark red. Spicy red berries and cherry on the nose, with hints of cracked pepper and dried rose. Crisp and dry on the palate, with spicy redcurrant and cherry flavors, light tannins and a fresh, energetic finish. An excellent value, and surprisingly elegant for this price point.
My Review: On the nose I got some spice, so I was thinking this wine would be highly alcoholic, and rich in tannic structure. When I tasted the wine I got some floral notes at first and then got hit with the pepper and spice in the wine. The wine was tart and did not have a lot of tannis in it. I could not taste the cherry or fruit that was described in the wine. I did not care for this wine too much, but would like to pair it with cheese and then give it another try.
