Tasting- Strip Tease


Name:  Strip Tease Sparkling Red Wine
Variety:   100% Tempranillo
Region:   Mendoza
Country:   Argentina
Year:   2009
Price:   $7.95

Shop Critic:  It shows a red-ruby colour, with raspberries and red current intense flavour, it is extremely refreshing and well balanced.

My Review:  This wine had a deep red-brown color almost like bricks.  It had a peppery, medicinal smell.  It also had hints of very concentrated vanilla extract and cough syrup.  It was very effervescent and sweet.  By far one of the weirdest things I have ever tasted, very rarely do you see a sparkling RED wine.  Fun to try once, but once was enough.

I drank this particular wine with no food pairings.
