Tasting: Lobetia Tempranillo


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

Winery 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: This wine had a light, young color to it.  It had slight aromas of raspberry and some stronger aromas of the terroir.  The flavor was lighter on the tannic side than the smell eluded to. There were flavors of cherry and raspberry as well. It was a pleasant wine and I would definitely have this one again. 

I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
