Tempranillo

Tempranillo Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: A very rare bottling of a native Spanish varietal, Tempranillo, which has only recently been grown in Washington State. The vines are located on a south-facing gravelly slope, near Mattawa. The fruit was hand-picked under ideal weather conditions. A medium bodied, ripe, accessible style. Shows cherry fruit, with exotic hints of smoke, savory herb and rose-petal notes. Vanillin and subtle spice add complexity. Sweet fruit by mouth, with a rich finish, with mild dry tannins. Bottled in March 2006 after aging at our cellars for 16 months in primarily American barrels. Will benefit from near to medium-term cellaring, gaining additional integration and flavor development over 6-18 months.
