Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $9.95
Shop's Notes: 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.
I got a lot of raspberry and cherry coming through. Also a bit flowery, like maybe cherry blossom flowers with some raspberry juice sprayed on it. It was very smooth, not very hot like some of the tempranillos I have had. I have found I can be very hit or miss with the tempranillo variety, but I really enjoyed this one.
