Winery Review: Dark ruby in color with rich aromas of red fruit and light spices. It is a real knockout 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: My first impression of this wine was that it had a pleasant nose, but I found that the wine was very tannic and very oaky. I did enjoy the fruit-forward flavor but I couldn't overlook how tannic it was. I probably wouldn't drink this wine again.
I tasted this wine on its own without food.
