2016 Tempranillo Maduro

Red wine

Food Pairing: cassoulet, pork tenderloin, pizza

“Smashed blackberry, purple flowers and loamy earth aromas show on the nose of this bottling. Sticky tannins frame the palate, though it’s a fairly fresh take on the grape, with boysenberry and fresh purple flowers meeting with leather and smoked meat flavors.”
– Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast, 91 points

“Bright ruby. Candied red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by smoky oak and cola accents and a touch of candied rose. Bitter cherry, raspberry and vanilla flavors show very good depth and a spicy hint of cracked pepper. Becomes deeper with air and finishes broad and long, with resonating florality and slow-building, well-integrated tannins.”
– Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91 points
