Tasting - Lobetia Tempranillo

Name: Lobetia Tempranillo 
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha 
Country: Spain
Year: 2011 
Price: $9.95 

Shop 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 (Vintage Cellar). 

Personal Review: The Lobetia Tempranillo had a beautiful rich purplish red color. It had a very rich cherry and vanilla nose that reminded me of cake. I was a bit let down by the taste of this wine. The palate was dry and had a hint of cherry to it that was finished with a spicy kick. This wine was a bit too powerful for me to enjoy.

Food: N/A
