The wine is medium-full bodied and has a very pretty aromatic profile with sour cherry and rose petals and spice. On the palate there are tart cherries, tobacco, hard spice and cocoa. I love the unique focused flavors this wine has and I have loved the Tempranillo in barrel from the beginning.

Description

This Tempranillo is an elegant example of Tempranillo from Ibarra-Young Vineyard in Santa Ynez Valley. The vineyard has been farmed organically since 1999 but is not certified. There are two clones in this vineyard, the Rioja Clone which offers great structure and the Pesquera Clone that along with great structure has a lush fruit filled mid-palate.

The wine was aged in 2-year old Hungarian Puncheons for 20 months.

The resulting wine is medium bodied with sour cherry flavors with layers of plum and savory spice notes along with hints of cocoa.

    This wine is full bodied with excellent structure yet velvety texture on the palate. It exhibits ripe plums and cassis fruit with savory overtones and hints of sage. This lush wine is framed by a firm but supple tannin structure with hints of rose petals and classic cigar-box leading into a smoky finish.

    Because of the extra barrel ageing the wine has been really showing beautifully right outside the gate. It’s a balanced wine with lush tart cherry fruit framed by hard spice with hints of smoke and a back note of cocoa.

    Spicy aromas followed by flavors of tart cherries layered with smoke and cocoa is followed by hints of rose petals and herbs de Provence on the finish. This is a pretty wine with good balance and nice structure without the ponderous, chalky notes of many domestic Tempranillo wines grown in warmer climates. Pair this wine with a variety of meat, poultry and rice dishes. It is a nice complement to spicy Mexican and South American food.
