Wine Profile

Tasting Notes A late night infomercial from a couple of years ago for a questionable land deal in northern California had a well-known TV cop from the 1980s telling you “You Gonna Love It!” Well, there is nothing questionable about the Calaveras County land that grows this Tempranillo! It’s starts off with spicy aromas like raspberries, blueberries and nutmeg, and finishes with flavors of black pepper, cherries and tobacco. We’re absolutely certain “You Gonna Love It!”

Solid structure full bodied wine with backbone supported by the cab. Good fruit flavors but too peppery for my wife.

I'm generally a fan of Tempranillo, finding that while relatively light-bodied they deliver on flavor. This Tempranillo was a bigger mouthful than most. While flavorful and full of character it went well with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and grated romano over pasta. A great choice for spicy or ethnic foods, where one might often choose a zin.
