The 2011 Tempranillo also looks to be outstanding (and a smoking value) and checks in as a 100% Tempranillo that’s aged in a combination of 30% new French and American oak and the balance in neutral barrel.

This comes soaring out of the gate with orange blossom, violet top notes, and deep marionberry. It’s a palate-coater, silky seductive with its minerals and florals married to rich bluepurple fruit.

This Syrah is deep and complex with aromatics of cinnamon sticks, leather, earth, dried red cherries, figs, vanilla, and some pencil lead (think of deep earthy minerals). The pallette is round and plush with red cherry, sage, blood (in a good way, think of salt and minerals), and white pepper with grippy tannins and a crazy long finish.  Two thumbs up!

This is your Thanks Giving wine and will pair perfect with the turkey and all the trimmings. Wafts of red cherry, earth, bramble bush, cranberry, currant, and black plum are intoxicating. Flavors of red cherries, mineral, white pepper, tea leaf, light leather, and cola race across the palate. This Grenache is a crowd pleaser; your loved ones will be happy and toast the night away.
