Optio Vineyards Geneseo District Tempranillo 2020, Paso Robles, California
Dark ruby in color, almost inky, with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of plums, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, chocolates, coffee, black pepper, pencil lead and herbs.
Full bodied and very smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, oak, licorice, vanilla, herbs, light earth, cola, chocolates, tobacco, spices, coffee and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Tempranillo from Paso Robles. Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself.
Shows great structure with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Spicy and rich. Opulent and tasty. Feels like a Napa Merlot.
Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 90 minutes of airtime.
Easy drinking and good by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.
I paired it with a nice piece of Ribeye steak.
Aged for 17 months in (40% new) oak barrels. A tiny production of only 720 bottles.
Fun blend of Viognier , Roussanne , and Marssanne - fairly unique to the region and well done - rich and fruity , not terribly dry , with a nice tight aftertaste — 4 years ago
