2018 Tempranillo-

This wine was pressed early to avoid being over extracted to showcase the delicate side of Tempranillo.  Notes of brambleberry, toast, graham cracker and Crème Brule on the nose.  On the palate you may find plum, dark berries, and hints of leather.  It still is a mouthful of tannin and structure, but they are rounded and soft into the long finish.   French oak barrels for 10 months.
