Tasting- "El Sierro Tempranilla/Cabernet Sauvignon

Variety: Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar 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: The nose on this wine reminded me of red fruits like strawberries and cherries. The taste was also reminiscent of these flavors with also a slight hint of chocolate on the finish. It would be very interesting to taste this with chocolate to see if it brings the flavor out more.
