Black cherry, currants, smoke, and lemon grass on the nose. The flavors are similar, with a touch of pepper. Tannins are nicely balanced, but there is a bit more acidity on the finish than our personal favorite Tempranillo. A very drinkable wine nonetheless.

Pungent, foul, sour. Definately not my style. This wine is still very young and could be part of the problem. No midpalate or finish. I'll probably finish half the bottle and dump the rest. Medium/Dark red in color. JMHO, I'll pass on this Tempranillo.

(Salida Tempranillo Yakima Valley) A fascinating, lightly aromatic nose with earth, carob, red fruit, green tea leaves, and pencil eraser. An absolutely gorgeous texture on the palate with pure fruit flavors. Rounded with firm but polished tannins that coat the palate. Hangs and hangs on the finish. One of the best Tempranillo I have had from Washington. 100% Tempranillo. Two Coyote Vineyard (Yakima Valley). Aged 4 months in one year old American oak and 14 months in three year old French oak. 14.2% alcohol. 42 cases produced.

Blackberry pie w/o being overly sweet. Good tannic grip and very nice long finish.
