Noted by Wine Enthusiast as "One of the Best Tempranillos to Drink Right Now" the 2022 Tempranillo presents vibrant aromas of black cherry, strawberry preserve and fig with distinct savory notes. The palate is chewy, generous and supple, delivering flavors of blueberry, cherry cola, vanilla, cedarwood, mocha and mushroom, all buttressed by buoyant acidity. Notes of toasted oak emerge on a rich, rustic finish. 

After harvesting and destemming, Director of Winemaking Jeremy Leffert and his team fermented the Tempranillo fruit predominantly in stainless steel with a complement in concrete tanks. After seven to 10 days of warm extraction, the new wine was pressed off the skins and into stainless steel tanks to finish fermentation, a maneuver designed to maintain a pure tannin profile while avoiding any uptake of phenolic astringency.

After fermentation, the individual lots were aged in 10 percent new French oak barrels for 10 months. Small contributions of Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, Graciano and Petite Sirah were included in the final blend for enhanced dimension and complexity. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
