Tempranillo

Hello,
Today we just touched on Tempranillo. Typically this is found in Argentina, France and the USA. The color of the wine is a deep brick red when young and it turns more tawny as it ages. The normal aromas are cherry, blackberry, and earthy aromas. The tannins are typically drying when the wine is young and normally the wine is dry with low acid levels.

1) Quattro Mano
    Made in: Barossa Valley
    Alc/vol: 13.8
    Price: $17

Appearance: This wine has a brick red core and a light red rim. There are some violet pigments so I think this is a young wine.

Aroma: This wine smells very fruity. There are intense cherry, raspberry, and plum aromas. There is also the slight smell of oak making this complex.

Palate: The tannins and harsh and thick, leaving a suede feeling in your mouth. There is also a strong acid flavor which hits strongly on the back on the mouth. There are also intense oak flavors as well.

Thank you
