Variety: Tempranillo <3
Region: Spain (Ribera del Duero)
Price: $21.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Glass-staining ruby. A fragrant bouquet evokes cherry-vanilla, violet and spices. Juicy and open-knit, offering zesty red and dark berry flavors and a touch of vanillin oak. Finishes smooth, gently sweet and long, with the cherry note echoing. This is already approachable.
My Review: In case you didn't know by now, I love Tempranillo wines and was super excited for this wine! And right from the nose it was interesting on so many levels. The smell was almost kind of sweet and creamy, but also was really earthy, metallic almost aspect too. It was like butter and metal. So with that interesting turn of events, I was excited and hesitant to taste it. The taste was a bright, slap of cherries which slid into a dry and kind of smoky finish that I loved. The balance was delicious and I wish I had had more of it. Maybe if I had a special occasion I would splurge for this, but on college budget you are just as good buying the Finca del Castillo, which is still my reigning favorite wine so far.
