Tasting: Senda 66 Tempranillo


Name: Senda 66 Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9.50

Winery Review: "Bright red color and intense fruit aromas wrapped with tons of ripe cherry flavors, strawberry and spice. Full body, great structure and long finish."


Personal Review: This wine smelled sweet and a lot like cherries! It was not too dry, which made it delicious! It was right in between being a sweet and a dry wine, which I really enjoyed. Even though it is considered to be a “big” wine, with a relatively high alcohol content, it had a thin feeling to it. Besides tasting cherries, I also tasted a hint of black pepper flavors. I’m curious as to what food this wine’s flavors would pair well with, since it is not the typical dry, red wine I have had before.
