Longoria 2010 Tempranillo (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Tempranillo California
Winery: Longoria / Santa Ynez Valley

Longoria has worked with this finicky Spanish grape variety for years, with mixed results. This 2010 is lower in alcohol than the wine has been in a long time, which gives it a delicate mouthfeel. It’s dense in cherries, currants, bacon and licorice, but finishes dry. Easy to like for its soft deliciousness.
