This winery has been on a long roll of high quality, and it continues in this instance. This Tempranillo is very ripe in style, but it gains complexity from well-chosen levels of oak char and spice, taming the rich black cherry and adding length. If you are a fan of bold spice, this is for you. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
