Tempranillo 2019

An Okanagan Tempranillo, with hints of Douro. The 2019 Tempranillo is a medium-bodied red wine with a medium ruby colour in the glass. This complex, elegant and intriguing wine leans toward the savoury end of the spectrum, although notes of sweet vanilla, cinnamon and black cherry dominating the nose. Baking spices, anise, dried fruit and a distinct oak toastiness marry with an incredible backbone of acid and approachable tannins on the palate. The integrated American oak components contribute to the lovely midpalate weight, texture and long finish to create a wine worth remembering. This is an approachable wine that drinks well now, but would evolve nicely in the bottle over the next seven to eight years.
