This is a nice amalgam of loose threads—leather, tobacco, earth and coffee, with purple plum and pie-cherry fruit. The fruit flavors lean toward fruit leather rather than fresh-picked, and the tannins are a bit astringent.

Tart plum, tanned leather and tobacco scents push right into the flavor palate, along with coffee grounds, smoke and charred wood. Tempranillo is ascendent in Southern Oregon, and this makes the case for a Rioja-style, with similar dried fruit and woody tannins.

Tempranillo is carving out an important role for itself in southern Oregon. This young wine has a strong mineral streak around flavors of wild berry, citrus oil, and chalk. A light and lovely tobacco scent adds interest.
