Vintage Cellar review: 50%Tempranillo 50% Garnacha. This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry
finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.

My review: On the nose, I could already tell this was going to be a dry wine. It was also very perfumey and had a strawberry-like scent. As for the taste, this wine had a mix of bitter and savory; it wasn't very sweet.. There was an alcohol bite to this wine, so it must have been fairly potent content level. The wine also had a watered down plum flavor. I may have gotten a little bit of a woody flavor as well.
I did not have food with this wine.
