Tasting Lobetia Tempranillo

Name: Lobetia
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $10.95
The Vintage Cellar Review: Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly.  It shows a nice cherry color with a violet shade because of its youth.  Red berries and cherries on the nose.  On the palate it is fresh, slightly astringent, and harmonious with a long finish.    
My Review: There is a nice raspberry color to this wine, but it has not too much smell.  It has much less scent than the first two wines.  It does smell a little warm and spicy though.  It tastes of grapes, and is very smooth, dry, and light with a little spice.  All in all it is not a complex or exciting wine.
