Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our flagship Tempranillo continues the tradition of quality and excellence through careful selection of the finest barrels. Rich blackberry, violets, mocha, spice box, smoke, and well defined tannins unfold in velvety layers through the lengthy finish. While delicious now, this wine has the structure to improve for 10 or more years and offers a long plateau of maturity.
Ratings
92 Points & Cellar Selection, Wine Enthusiast, "A vanilla cupcake with blackberry icing is a heck of an aromatic introduction. Additional aromas of pipe tobacco, lemon zest, lavender, and leather are equally enticing. Muscular tannins ripple in support of blueberry, mocha latte, hibiscus, and almond flavors. Enjoy now until 2032." - Michael Alberty; 92 Points, Vinous, "The 2020 Tempranillo Barrel Select lifts from the glass with a soothingly sweet bouquet of crushed blueberries, cherries and confectionary spice. This is soft and supple with a core of zesty acidity to balance. Citrus-tinged wild berry fruits smooth over the palate. The 2020 tapers off with a gentle tug of fine tannin and a pleasantly bitter tinge of dark chocolate that lingers on and on. Nicely done."
