Tasting: Lobetia Tempranillo-Petit Verdot Roble

Lobetia Tempranillo-Petit Verdot Roble
La Mancha, Spain
2010
$15.95
Review Provided by The Vintage Cellar: Organic and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terrior to stant out cleanly. It shows a nice cherry colour with a violet shade. Red berries and cherries bouquet on the nose combined with spice and coffee. On the palate there are flavors of chocolate and cherries, it is fresh, sweet tannins and harmonious with a long finish. Pair with: beef sirloin with pepper sauce.
My Review: This blended wine has spent six months in oak. Once again, I tasted the darker fruits such as cherries that I seemed to taste with this brand of wine. It was soft at first in the front of the palate, but harsher once it reached the back portion of the palate.
