Top Notes For

Dense purple-red, moderately to heavily extracted pigment. Black currant and funk notes on pour. Raspberry, cola and, later, salty mint and thyme-herbal flavors. Good acid but not quite tart. Moderate skin astringency, needs time to open.

Abacela pioneered Tempranillo in the Umpqua Valley and they still do it right! Great wine!

Raspberry jam, cherry cola, vanilla, currant, eucalyptus, licorice and oak. Great structure and moderate tannins.

Fresh and juicy. Plenty of backbone. Balance is nice. Not too light, which is nice for a OR Temp. Nice stuff.
