Tempranillo Fiesta 2021

92 points, Decanter Magazine, "This is a fantastically fresh Tempranillo from the first name in the variety in Oregon. Abacela has made its name on the variety for more than 25 years. Aromas of red and black berry fruits, crushed stone and lots of purple florals. The palate is fresh and bright with blueberries and ripe raspberries. Savoury notes of sumac, fresh fennel, and mineral-driven streaks of graphite. This is fun, fresh and wildly drinkable." - - - 91 points, Paul Gregutt, "Fragrant berry and mocha highlights carry on into the palate, making this the most accessible (and affordable) of the winery's portfolio of four different Tempranillos. The tannins are lightly grainy, bringing more flavors of coffee grounds, black tea and tobacco as it winds down through the finish." - - - 91 points, Wine Enthusiast, "Liven up yourself with this Tempranillo take on the nouveau style. The Fiesta is juicy and frisky, with plush tannins and aromas and flavors of raspberries, blueberries, cedar and grape hyacinth. This screw-capped gem is here for a good time, not a long time."
