Tasting - El Sierro Tempranillo/Cabernet Sauvignon

I did not pair this wine with food
Name: El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab
Variety: Tempranillo/Cabernet Sauvignon blend
Region: N/A
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
Price: $7.95

Professional Notes: Dark ruby in color with rich aromas of red fruit and light spices. It is a real knock-out with delicious flavors of dark cherries, blackberries and vanilla all perfectly integrated. The Tempranillo provides wonderful spice and fruit, while the Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and depth with the beautiful use of oak.
My Review: This wine was a deep ruby red in color; very pretty. It had a big red fruit nose, as well as some spices. This wine was very tannic. Like, VERY tannic. Super dry mouth feel. For me, it was too much- too dry, and too much spice. However, it was a good wine, and I bet a lot of people would like it. I would recommend it to them.
