The 2005 Reserve Tempranillo is a special 2-barrel selection. This wine is produced only in exceptional vintages. Aromas of dried black cherry, all spice and a hint of licorice are coupled with underlying tones of vanilla bean and plum. The palate is balance of concentrated dark fruit and gentle oak nuances, leading to a well-rounded lush finish. Spending 34 months in barrel, this wine will benefit from extended cellar aging.
