Thornton Winery, Temecula Valley (California) Tempranillo 2014

Oct 3, 2018

By Rich Cook

 Winemaker David Vergari is doing great things at Thornton Winery.  This Tempranillo shows vibrant fruit and integrated oak spice on the nose, delivering blackberry, black cherry, dill, allspice and a touch of menthol on the palate.  A great solo glass, or pair with medium strength cheeses or tapas of all kinds.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
