Abacela 2009 Tempranillo (Southern Oregon)

Country: US /
Variety: Tempranillo Oregon
Winery: Abacela / Southern Oregon

From a mix of southern Oregon vineyards, this vintage was harvested at pretty low sugar levels (22.7º brix). It is light, and elegantly designed—definitely a wine for every day drinking. Along with spare berry fruit is a hint of nougat from a tiny percentage of new oak.
