Nice Tempranillo, more complex and less fruity than the usual Spanish variant. Well balanced, moderate on tannins.

An interesting take on Tempranillo - definitely Cali influences , not as light and fruity as Spanish varietals , could probably have sat for another few years to mellow some more

Oh Tempranillo..... will California prevail over Spain and not give me knives in my stomach? Only time will tell. Now the wine....
Nuts....earth....bitter chocolate on the nose.
Chokecherry. Not very complex but I do like this wine.
