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 was a gorgeous, deep burgundy color with black cherry, strawberry, and pomegranate on the nose. The palate was complex- plenty of grape jam, raisins, and cranberries. The blend with undertones of minerals and wood. There were also notions of herbs and spice, with some cloves and parsley flakes. The surface texture was dusty which gave this wine a rustic feel. It was not taken with food, but I would pair it with a steak or beef cuts marinated with red wine.
