Tasting - 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: The nose on this wine made me think it would be a very typical tempranillo, as it had big black cherry and pepper. It was not quite what I'd come to expect from the basic tempranillo though, as It had a really great earthy quality that came through in the mid-palate to mix with the awesome black cherry that persisted throughout. It had that tempranillo spice and an awesome earthy x-factor that separated this wine from other tempranillos to me.
I did not try this with food.
