NV Tempranillo

Two vintages of Columbia Valley fruit, this brawny little tough comes out swinging with one-two punch of dark chocolate covered crushed black cherries dusted by Spanish Piment d'Espelette peppers. Dark ruby, glistening to garnet at glass's rim - the palate, a powerful burst of red raspberry & strawberry swirled in campfire smoke. Full, complex and elegant - richly textured with medium-plus tannins, medium acidity lends a crisp balance and a long, lingering finish - make no mistake, this is very much a food wine. Pair with grilled Rib-eye & Argentinian chimichurri, herb crusted rack of lamb, Carne Asada or any moderately spicy cuisine.
