Tasting - Lobetia Tempranillo

Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011

Vintage Cellar Review: "Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terrior 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: The dark berries on this wine were very obvious. As it was poured I could really smell all the dark cherries and blue berries and black berries. The wine didn't taste anything like the way it smelled. I tasted a hint of tobacco and a little bit of fruit and the sides of my tongue were stinging as a I swished and slurped. The only fruit I could taste was cherry. I would not go out of my way to drink this wine.

This wine was not paired with food.
