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.(Nov 21, 2011 at 7:33 AM)
