Steak Dinner and Marquez De Moral


Name: Marquez De Moral 
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Valdepenas
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $11.99
Wine Critic Review: Medium red. Aromas of redcurrant and cherry, plus a hint of dried rose. Fleshy and smooth, with moderate depth to its slightly bitter red fruit flavors. Finishes with decent breadth and grip, with the redcurrant element joined by a hint of white pepper." 
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept/oct 2011)87 pts 
Personal Review: This was a nice wine with a bit of bite to it. It was a little tart, and tasted a bit like cherries that weren't quite ripe.
Food pairing: I had this with a steak dinner and potatoes. The tartness of the wine was a nice contrast to the rich flavors.
