Wine critic review: A 50-50 blend of Tempranillo and Garacha, this medium rosecolored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.

My review: I was really hoping to enjoy this wine since it is well within my budget, but I'm sad to say that I did not. From the smell I thought I would enjoy it as I was able to really pick up on the fruitiness of it, however the spiciness of the taste was not to my liking and I found it to be a little bitter. I didn't taste this wine with food, however I think it would be good with grilled pork and veggies. Maybe if I pair it with food I will be more fond of it!
