Tasting- Veleta Tempranillo Rosado


Name:  Veleta Tempranillo Rosado
Varietal:  100% Tempranillo
Region:  Granada
Country:  Spain
Year:  2010
Price:  $3.95

Shop Critic:  Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rose offers berry, tart cherry and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish.  Focused and juicy.

My Review:  Fantastic wine!!  A delicious play of maraschino cherries on the nose rounded out with some sweet, creamy notes.  Very fruity and delightful aromas.  When I tasted this wine it was surprisingly smooth and soft with not too much acidity (especially trying this wine right after a Espumoso).  It had a luscious, creamy mouthfeel with a smooth finish.  I tasted hints of caramel and cherries in this wine.  I loved this wine and bought a bottle right away.  How could you pass it up at only $3.95!

I drank this wine with no food pairings.
