Dominio IV "Technicolor Bat" Tempranillo/Syrah 08

Wow - I've followed this winery for a few years as their new vineyard matured. With this wine, the maturity of the vineyard and the experience of the winemaker come together to produce a super wine and a great value.

The 2008 Technicolor Bat is a big and chewy, full bodied red with black plum, cassis, dusty cocoa, anise, and smoked meat flavors. Have this wine with BIG meats. Amazing at $20.

2007 Vintage Tasting Notes

The 2007 Technicolor Bat waits while hawks and eagles take flight over the vineyard by day. With wings of licorice and brown sugar and eyes that glow spiced cinnamon and chocolate, this Bat is made to fly by night. Grown on a gentle east facing slope: Tempranillo (80%) Syrah (20%). - the winery

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

Dominio IV's Technicolor Bat wine blend offers great value. Dark, dark fruits, dark cherry, cassis, chocolate, and black licorice characterize the wine. It's a blend of Tempranillo (the grape used in Spanish Rioja) and Syrah.
