Tasting - El Sierro


El Sierro
Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon
Spain
2011
$7.95

Wine 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: Dark purple color. Smokey and pepper aromas on the nose. Full and dry with well structured body followed by long finish. Hot and spicy and acidic components on the palate with leathery texture lasts long on the palate to the finish and more. Dark cherries and berries come forward with spicy and dry components. The acid and fruity components forward followed by hot and spicy kick and then dry finish complete the structure of this wine. It will go really well with greasy prime rib or steak dishes.
