Tasting - El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab

Name: El Sierro Tempranillo/Cab
Variety: Mix of Tempranillo & Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Winery Review:

"Dark ruby in color with rich aromas of red fruit and light spices. It is a real knock-out with delicious flavors of dark cherries, blackberries and vanilla all perfectly integrated. The Tempranillo provides wonderful spice and fruit, while the Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and depth with the beautiful use of oak."

 My Review: 
The El Sierro wine was a very dark red color with aromas of blackberry and pepper on the nose.  The flavor is quite similar to the aroma.  I notice aspects of cherry, blackberry, spice, and just a little hint of sweet vanilla present.  The wine was dry and medium bodied with a decent tannin structure.  Not a bad wine but not my favorite so far.  I tried this wine without food.
