Tasting: Lobetia Tempranillo 2011

Name: Lobetia Tempranillo 2011
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha Spain
Price: 9.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. It shows a nice cherry color with a violet shade because of its youth. Red berries and cherries on the nose. On the palate it is fresh, slightly astringent, and harmonious with a long finish.

My Review: I always love tempranillo wines so I was really excited about this one. Again, like the chardonnay the nose was really sweet and fruity, where the actual taste was dry. The smells of sweet cherry, raspberry, and vanilla all danced in my nose. The overall taste was cherry for days, like straight red cherries. However, it was quite dry too with just a hint of smoke or spice. Again, too dry for my taste, but hey if you are in to that I definitely reccommend this wine for you.
