Name: El Sierro
Variety: Tempranillo / Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Valencia
Country: Spain
Year: 2011

Price: $7.95

Winery 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: I'm a fan of cabs and this wine was no exception. Very dark red wine with a strong nose of plums and blackberries. On the palate, I got a huge explosion of tannins with a long and deep finish that left my mouth quite dry. I love that feeling and this wine delivered it perfectly. Definitely my favorite out of the 5 and a definite buy.

I did not have this wine with food.
