An inviting wine with berry, fig and toast on the nose. Earthy undertones with a touch of spice drive the wine into its varietally correct dark chocolate finish. Pairs well with Mom's lasagna and flipping through old photo albums.
An American Tempranillo made with fruit from own-rooted vines that are over 40 years old isn't something you stumble across every day. This is a good one, with aromas of blackcap raspberries, lavender and cinnamon. Brawny tannins support quince and cherry flavors that are bright and tart, with a bit of pipe tobacco. — Michael Alberty
