2020 Tempranillo - Limited Edition

These grapes, growing steps away from the winery, were hand picked early in the harvest. Special canopy management protected these larger sized tight clustered grapes from sunburn, resulting in more intense flavor complexity & color.  Has earthy aromas of dry plum with the amaretto cherry, currant, & ripe blackberry flavor, contrasting with dried herbal notes & clay minerality.  

131 cases with an alcohol of 15.6% - a big wine.
