VC Review: "In the glass, there is a bright and shiny white wine with an incredibly welcoming, fresh appetizing aroma reminiscent of ripe tropical fruits. The flavor is rich, balanced and extremely comfortable. The near-perfect all-purpose white wine. As an additional benefit, and good evidence that El Sierro reflect the new Spain, the bottle is sealed with the technical viewed perfect screw cap that at once eliminates any risk of cork flavor and keeps the fruit and the wine fresher for longer time."
My Review: The first thing I noticed about this wine was the subtle urine smell it had. I expected fresher, sweeter smells but it turns out it was a bit more sour. The actual taste was not all that memorable, with tiny fruit flavors - nothing bold or distinct. I would say that despite it's lack of flavor, the balance of the wine was fine. It didn't feel bad at all in the mouth or anything, but you can tell it is a $7 wine.
