Production Notes
Tempranillo is a varietal indigenous to Spain. The 2020 Reserve Tempranillo has a dark purple hue, violet color, with bright red edges. Aromas of bramble fruits, licorice, wet slate, and pencil lead fill the glass. The entry illuminates with flavors of raspberry, currants, sage, and a touch of toasted oak. The midpalate and finish indicate a well-structured Tempranillo with long, integrated tannins making for a spectacular bottle to lay down for extended aging.
Pair with steaks, roasted meats, reduction sauces, and hearty stews.
