Vintage Cellar Tasting: Tarima Blanco

Name: Tarima
Variety: Blanco 
Region: Alicante  
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price:  $8.95

Vintage Cellar Review: (70% mereseguera, 20% viura and 10% moscatel):  Light yellow.  Perfumed aromas of Meyer lemon, melon and white flowers show good clarity and a hint of ginger.  Juicy, open-knit citrus fruit and peach flavors are firmed by a zesty mineral quality and a touch of white pepper.  The melon note repeats on the clinging but slightly warm finish.


Macy's Review: An interesting blend of grapes that I have never heard of.  The nose had hints of fruit and flowers.  Very acidic taste, but there was really no flavor.  Overall the wine was very bland, but it did have a strong finish that watered my mouth is the worst of ways.  I would not recommend this wine to anyone.
