Tasting - "El Sierro Tempranillo/ Cab"

Photo:
Name: El Sierro Tempranillo/ Cab
Variety: Tempranillo and Cabernet 
Region: Valencia 
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
Price: $7.95
Shop/wine critic/ winery review: Vintage Wine Cellar/ Amanda/ Dark ruby in color with rich aromas of red fruit and light spices. It is a real knock-out with delicious flavors of dark cherries, blackberries and vanilla all perfectly integrated. The Tempranillo provides wonderful spice and fruit, while the Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and depth with the beautiful use of oak.
Your review: Yet another red wine from the prosperous country of Spain. When applying a sniffy sniff to this wine it had the traditional flavors of cherries and for some reason I keep picking out a plum like scent, but after that the wine was too overpowering and uneventful. When I tasted this wine I could not pick out any noticeable flavors due to the overpowering and spicy aftertaste. It was a very dry wine that just didn't do it for me and I think I will be staying away from Tempranillo for a while.
