Vineyard/Vintage Notes:  100% from Amador County. Amador County is extremely well suited to Tempranillo.  Coming from a similar climate area of Spain, Amador County is rapidly becoming known as one of the best wine growing regions in California for Tempranillo. 

Winemaker’s Notes:  Amador County Tempranillo produces small bunches of high extraction, perfect pH and flavors to produce world class varietal Tempranillo.  2019 had a cold wet period during flowering which produced a 50% crop.  Bad news for the grower, but good news for the wine being made.  Less crop produced higher flavor and more extractive wine.

Tasting Notes:  Fruit forward, rich full flavors expressing both the varietal and the Amador Terroir.  This complex spicy and floral wine has bright red cherry and a hint of menthol.
