Opera Prima Sweet Red
La Mancha, Spain
2010
$4.95
"This is a robust red wine with a full body and a natural sweetness derived from native Spanish grapes that bask in the Mediterranean sun until a perfect ripeness is achieved. Excellent with birgers and barbecued meats."
My opinion: This wine is very light in color. The nose is pretty tangy, bitter and dry. There are hints of fruit, but definitely not a powerful component, which makes sense for a sweet red. The initial taste definitely isn't that of a red, it's very soft and not very alcoholic. It tastes like a berry compote with hints of rhubarb coming through. It turns very sweet - strong raspberry component - when paired with a salad with vinaigrette.
