Tasting - El Sierro Tempranillo/Cabernet 2011


  • Name: El Sierro Tempranillo/Cabernet 2011
  • Variety: Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon blend
  • Region: Almeria
  • Country: Spain
  • Year: 2011
  • Price: $7.95
  • My Review: On the nose, this wine provided some floral, blackberry and spice aromas, as well as other dark fruit aromas. On the palate, this wine was very tannic, tart, spicy and dry. This wine tasted very much like other Cabernet Sauvignons that I have tasted in the past, but I was not crazy about this particular wine. This Spanish tempranillo/cab blend just seemed to lack complexity to me. Overall, this wine wasn't bad by any means, but it just didn't wow me like I had hoped it might.
