Tasting- Don Ramon Tinto


Name:  Don Ramon
Variety:  75% Grenache, 25% Tempranillo
Region:  Camp de Borja
Country:  Spain
Year:  2008
Price:  $7.95
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 dark red wine smelled of oak and dark fruit.  There was some heat upon tasting along with blackberry, cherry, and raspberry flavors.  It was okay, but definitely not my favorite. 

I tried this wine without food.
