From a recent auction "mystery pack" of well-stored Herb Farm collection wines. Slightly oxidized, unfortunately. Cork looked pristine, barely stained a quarter inch from the bottom.

Received as a gift so I can't comment on value. Very nice. Wonderful, expressive nose of black fruits. Tremendous depth of blue and black fruits on the palate.

Very pleasantly surprised with this wine, purchased with dinner with french/spanish dishes from all over the map. We were not sure what to expect from an Oregon Tempranillo, but yes, definitely a good shot in the dark. Quite delicious... rich but not overwhelming, plums, blackberries, and spice... we're planning a trip down to Abacela next week to pick up a few bottles of this gem.
B's notes: To expand on the meal. . . The wine went well with Oysters on the half-shell, onion and anchovie pizzetta, paella, and beef tenderloin! Not only delicious, but versitile!
