Vega Sindoa, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, 2004
Here's another one (in a long list) of attempts at a good and cheap table wine. And this one isn't half bad (though perhaps not the holy grail). Denise described it as "feeling like a plush carpet in your mouth ... it sinks in your mouth).
The nose was interesting. Dark fruit: plum, raisin and blackberry. Chemical. Bark. Mineral. Stone. The taste was unmistakeably: blackberry (and hints of plum), and leather. However, the finish was a bit sharp, almost like stinging nettle -- pretty acidic. The blackberry remained though the finish (and inbetween the needles), with a hint of chocolate. Despite this poor ending, overall the wine was pretty decent.
