Nuthatch Tempranillo Umpqua Valley 07

Deep and rich, bright and balanced, the 07 Nuthatch Tempranillo offers showy dark cherries and plums with fine tannins providing backbone. This is much more "Old World" in style than the 2006, and will cellar nicely.

Tempranillo 87%, Syrah 13% - 70 cases made.

A cooler season in southern Oregon brings complexity and rounded, balanced flavors. The wine has an inviting, soft, floral note that combines with raspberry, spicy red currant, and warm vanilla accents. On the palate, red currant and powdered cocoa are framed by chewy tannins in a lingering finish. - the winery
