Abacela Tempranillo Cuvee 07
Their "intro level" Tempranillo
From the winery: Vineyard maturity with consequent increased production has given us an opportunity to achieve one of our long-term goals, that is to produce a lighter style, more food friendly Tempranillo. The remaining obstacle, this grape's massive tannin structure, has been harnessed (in this vintage at least) and this Umpqua Cuvee is the outcome of that effort.
This Tempranillo delivers typical varietal character of blackberry, plum, cedar, spice and leather notes in both bouquet and flavor. It's more forward style will permit earlier enjoyment (i.e. less bottle ageing) with most daily fare or fancy entrees from shepherd's pie to veal Oscar. Enjoy!
