Tasting #13 - Santa Julia Tempranillo

Name: Santa Julia
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $10

Winery Review:  A deep fruit nose opens to rich black fruits on the palate - plums and figs, with hints of vanilla and tobacco.

My Review: This wine is a deep red in color. On the nose I got black pepper, cherry, raspberries, and a hint of banana and cherry Coca-Cola. It was hard to pick out pick out any other tastes over the pepperiness flavor although maybe there was a hint of raspberries. It finished dry and didn't linger long. This wine reminder me a lot of the wine I did in tasting #12. Overall I enjoyed this wine.

This wine was tasted without food.
