Tasting - Don Ramon Tinto



Name: Don Ramon
Variety: 75% Grenache, 25% Tempranillo
Region: Aragon
Country: Spain
Year:
Price: $7.95


Shop 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 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: My favorite red tasted in this sampling.  Very earthy undertones.  No funky horsey taste, just black cherry and earth.  I really enjoyed drinking this wine.  I would pair it with filet mignon.

I tasted this on its own without food.
