Tasting - Don Ramon

Name: Don Ramon
Variety: Tinto
Region: 
Country: Spain
Year: 
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: 75% Grenache, 25% Tempranillo. Aged 3 months in American Oak casks. Ruby red in color, with creamy aromas of earth and cherry.  Flavor turns toward deeper and darker black cherry and raspberry on a medium framework. A subtle earthiness underneath the bright fruit adds some depth and complexity.

My review:  This wine came out of the bottle black!  But on the edges of the glass you could see the wine was clear and red.  The nose was fully of strawberries and raspberry.  The wine was very smooth but had some dryness towards the end of the taste.  The wine was not the most flavorful it was really just too dry and tannic.  I would not recommend this wine on its own.  Maybe it would be good with a big juicy steak.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
