Dark, with a nice sweet aftertaste. Not dry but you can taste a hint of wood. It's a bit sour, but the fullness compensates for this. I really loved this wine! Definitely worth its price!

Slightly tannic. Balsamic with bramble & sour cherries.

#carinena #tempranilloblend featuring plush black and red berry aromas backed by leather. Richer, fruit-forward style with some vanilla, dark coffee notes followed by some acidity and dense tannins on a long trailing finish. Decent value from #wsjwineclub but I’d like to taste more of the terroir specific earthy layers and a bit lighter touch on the oak and tannins. #wsjwineclub

Perfect with tomato cream sauce pasta. Fresh and just the right acidity.
