Tasting - El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab

Name:  El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab
Variety:  Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2011
Region:  Valencia
Country: Spain
Price:  $7.95

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:  This red wine had smoky and dark fruity aromas.  I also picked up on a hint of vanilla.  On the palate, it had light baking spices that balanced very well with the smokiness from the oak.  Overall I thought it was well balanced and had great depth of flavor.
