Our 2018 Tempranillo is a very limited release, with only 60 cases produced. Styled after the grape’s native Spanish roots, our Tempranillo used traditional winemaking techniques commonly used in Rioja- even to go as far as inoculating the wine with a strain of yeast isolated from Rioja itself. We then aged the wine in 16.5% American oak, a common Rioja tradition, which dazzles the wine with hints of coconut, dill & vanilla. The wine’s focused concentration of blackberry flavor is balanced with subtleties of plum, tobacco & leather. The wine rested in barrel for eighteen months to soften its quite defined tannins. It’s a bold drinker now, but will age gracefully for the next ten to fifteen years. Highly recommend drinking with your favorite barbeque dishes.
