2021 Tempranillo
Tasting Notes:
Our 2021 Tempranillo is briming with notes of preserved cherry, cranberry, slate and a touch of baking spices. The entry is bright and fresh, with flavors of bing cherry and dried cranberries. The entry segues into a lengthy mid palate with layers of sage, clove and toasted oak surrounding present, yet soft tannins.
