Tasting Notes

The 2022 Tempranillo is a rich and savory wine, offering an intricate bouquet and complex palate. Aromas of Iberico ham, marjoram, and mole intermingle with enticing notes of chocolate-covered bing cherries, tobacco, vanilla, blackberry jam, and a hint of sassafras.

On the palate, the tannins are smoothy and lightly chalky, this Tempranillo leans toward a savory presentation, with dominant flavors of chocolate and cherry. Sierra Spice frames a meaty finish of dried herbs and a hint of vanilla, adding depth and warmth to the overall profile. This wine is beautifully balanced, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring through 2030.
