Tasting - El Pedrosal Ribera del Duero


Name: El Pedrosal Ribera del Duero
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Ribera del Duero
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $21.95

Winery Review: Glass-staining ruby. A fragrant bouquet evokes cherry-vanilla, violet and spices. Juicy and open-knit, offering zesty red and dark berry flavors and a touch of vanillin oak. Finishes smooth, gently sweet and long, with the cherry note echoing. This is already approachable.

My Review: One of the most potent wines I've tried so far. An overwhelming oak smell overpowering other fruity flavors in the bouquet. The taste works for this oaky tasting wine, very smooth. There are also hints of cherry in the taste along with subtle vanilla flavors. Interesting to try a more expensive wine than usual, not too bad!

I tried this wine without food.
