Opera Prima Sweet Red
Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon
2010
$4.95
Region: La Mancha
Spain
Winery Review: Doesn’t try to hide its warm-climate terroir, with a soft
texture framing jammy-sweet black raspberry, cherry, red currant, root beer and
sweet tea. Drink now.
Personal Review: When I think about what the words ‘sweet’ and ‘red’ would
taste like, that’s exactly how this wine tasted. Cherry was a strong flavor, but it mainly tasted like a
cupful of sugar. And that was fine
with me. The Opera Prima had very
little of the bitterness that other red wines possess. I did not taste any root beer or sweet
tea flavors, but cherry and sugar were in this wine from aroma to aftertaste. Because it is a dessert wine, I could
see it pairing with chocolate very well.
