Had been waiting a while on an Expert Review to add the correct wine, but will go ahead and post as the Tempranillo. It's actually an old vine Grenache-Carignan blend. Glad that @Evan Frazier decided to finally release this single barrel effort after about six years, as it is really an excellent wine. Clear bright red, gorgeous nose. Started off a bit too high-toned on the acidic side, but balanced out nicely with just 30 min of air and drank well over three nights. Mrs. A snagged the last sip out of my glass on night three and pronounced "Mmm, I want a glass of this." Oops. 🐕🏠 for me. I have one more bottle, but that's my secret for the moment....
