Tasting - Veleta Tempranillo Rosado

Name: Veleta Tempranillo Rosado
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Granada
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $3.95

The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rose offers berry, tart cherry and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish. Focused and juicy."

My Review: I detected sweet honey on the nose, which was very mild overall. I was surprised by the mouth experience because it was so different from the bouquet.  It was peppery over most of the palate, with a hot, burning after effect. I didn't particular like this wine because it was so dry and intense, but would pair it with bread-based appetizer like bruschetta before ruling it out completely.

This wine was tasted without food.
