Tarantas Utiel-Requena Cabernet Sauvignon Tempranillo - 2003 - 8.2 - James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez

Tarantas Cabernet-Sauvignon Tempranillo I picked up at Whole Foods; the bottle’s label - especially the front label looks great but does not have a lot of information; forget about a varietal breakdown.

This wine is very dry; think black fig, red pepper, and dried plum.  Not as satisfying as I had hoped–the wine was quite vitreous and did not have the bold tannins I had imagined.

¡Salud!
