Proof of terroir: this is damn fine Tempranillo, but it is definitely not Rioja.

Tempranillo from Southern Oregon? Not too shabby! Would like to try a bottle with a bit more age.

Lighter style of Tempranillo, it’s definitely more a drinker than a thinker. But really good all the same. I can’t say I remember it developing all that much, and it definitely didn’t completely sell me on Oregon Tempranillo as a category...but it didn’t scare me away either.
Body: Medium
Acidity: Medium+
Tannin: Medium-
Typicity: Medium-
