Tasting - El Sierro Tempranillo



Name: El Sierro
Variety: Tempranillo/Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: 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: The nose on this wine was overrun by a dark red fruit smell. I liked the tannins on this wine as well. There was almost no finish at the end which I've come to realize I don't like in wines -- I like wines with a nice finish.
