TASTING NOTES
Our Tempranillo presents a deep garnet hue, reflecting its rich and concentrated nature. The enticing bouquet intertwines ripe dark fruits, delicate spices, and a whisper of earthiness. On the palate, it offers a well-balanced structure with a medium to full body, unveiling layers of dark fruit, subtle black pepper spice, and silky tannins. Nuances of plum, tobacco, and leather mingle with a refined touch of oak, culminating in a long, satisfying finish.
PRODUCTION NOTES
Our Tempranillo is located at the highest elevation on the Coble Ranch Vineyard. The Tempranillo block consists of two different soil series, allowing for minerality and richness to be characterized in the finished wine. It was harvested in three lots and fermented in bins before being pressed in our traditional basket press. Once pressed, we aged the Tempranillo in twice used French oak barrels for 18 months.
