Tasting-Santa Julia Tempranillo

--Organica 
Tempranillo 
--Mendoza
--Argentina 
--2014
--$9.99 

Tasting Notes: The 2014 Organica Tempranillo shows intense red violet colors with ruby hues. The nose exudes black ripe fruit aromas, such as blackberries and raisins and also plums and fig jam. The tannins are soft and sweet with a well-balanced and long finish in the mouth.

My notes: There was a smell of berries, lots of berries, slight oaky but sweet delicious cherry. It was never very complex but smelled delicious so I got very excited about a big bold fruity red. I was disappointed. It was acidic, oerly dry but also a leave your mouth dry feel. You do not taste any of the berries, it was earthy and slightly poopy. There is definitely too much Oak and basically no fruit or flavor. Not good.
