Tasting - El Sierro

Name: El Sierro
Variety: Tempranillo/Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Valencia
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 Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and depth with the beautiful use of oak.
Personal Review: This wine smelled like cherries, cranberries, and plum with hints of smoke and spice. The wine was very dry and tannic and tasted like tart cranberries and plums. For me, this wine was very one-dimensional and not as interesting as it smelled. I did not have this wine with any food.
