Tasting - Lobetia Tempranillo


Name
: Lobetia Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha 
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $10.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the
varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. It shows a nice cherry
color with a violet shade because of its youth. Red berries and
cherries on the nose. On the palate it is fresh, slightly astringent,
and harmonious with a long finish.

My Review: On the nose, this wine was very jammy, with a combination of grapes, raspberry and cherry. It also had a slight hint of white pepper on the back end of the scent. On the palate, this wine tasted surprisingly light on the palate. The color was a typical dark purplish red, but the wine didn't taste as heavy as i'm used to in dark reds. The white pepper was definitely apparent on the tongue. Overall, it was a very well-balanced wine and I would be willing to have it again.
I did not have any food with this wine.
