Tasting - El Sierro

Name:  El Sierro
Variety:  Tempranillo / Cabernet Sauvignon
Region:  Valencia
Country:  Spain
Year:  2011
Price:  $7.95

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 had a strong dark fruit (cherries, plums, blackberries, raspberries), jammy nose. On the palate, it had a medium body, velvety tannins, and more dark fruit flavors. I also got hints of licorice, spice, and oak.  A very in-depth, well-structured wine and my favorite from the tasting.


Food:  Did not have with food
