Name: Finca del
Castillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $4.95
Shop Review: Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spic flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato (Vintage Cellar).
My Review: The Finca del Castillo had a very interesting aroma to it. I got a strong hint of pears, rather than spices. However, the taste was definitely more spicy than fruity. It had a very deep robust taste. The wine had a very long, dry finish, which I didn’t particularly enjoy.

Food: Although I didn't taste this wine with food at the time, I personally would have paired it with a soft cheese.
