Tasting - Don Ramon Tinto



Name:
  Don Ramon Tinto
Variety: 75% Grenache, 25% Tempranillo
Region: Campo de Borja
Country: Spain
Year: 2008
Price: $8

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: Big earthy nose with hints of spice and woodiness. Picked up the oak as I tasted along with hints of some dark berry mix. I wasn't a fan of this one, but the label looked cool.


I tasted this on its own with no food.
