Twisted Oak 2005 The Spaniard Red (Calaveras County)

Country: US / The Spaniard
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Twisted Oak / Calaveras County

Twisted Oak has a pretty serious track record with this wine. The ’05, a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha (Grenache), is very dry and complex. It’s soft but firmly tannic, with juicy flavors of cherries, raspberries, pomengranates, licorice, chocolate, cloves and pepper. Has the body of a fine Pinot Noir, with different flavors.
