Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 4, 2014 - I'm going to go along with the opinions of others about this wine. It's much sweeter than I would have expected considering the blend. This from the Red Diamond "Temperamental" fact sheet:

85 % Tempranillo, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Carignan

I bought it this evening at Safeway to have with moussaka, as Tempranillo was suggested as a good match. I ended up pairing the moussaka with the Red Diamond Malbec (from Argentina) - which was a very good choice. Undoubtedly the sweetness of the Temperamental clashed with the spices in the moussaka.

I would think the sweetness of the Temperamental would be a good choice with cheeses or acidic food.

It's NOT from Washington. It states "Spain" on the bottle and on the fact sheet from the website.
