Vina Sastre is a family run winery in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. This wine is produced from 100% Tempranillo grapes from their estate vineyards. Although I find many wines made with the tempranillo grape to be light and fruity, this wine is rich and elegant. Vina Sastre Roble has a deep red color with aromas of dark berries. It is a medium bodied wine that is very well balanced with flavors of cherries and cedar. The wine’s earthiness is an excellent example of a well made wine in an Old World style.
This wine is a great everyday wine that will pair very well with food, especially grilled meats and hearty stews.
