Shop/wine critic/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:
This wine presents a deep bloody crimson color, and it carries notes of red fruit, wood, and spice on the nose. Upon tasting, this wine is tannic, with a little acidity and a lot of tannins on a lasting finish. There are some small notes of fruit and a little oakiness, which makes it nice, but the wine is ultimately a little off-balanced to be really good. 77/100
