Tasting note
Temecula Valley Tempranillo should offer aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and a touch of warm spice. The 2021 Reserve is expected to have a broad but balanced palate, with smooth tannins wrapping the fruit and acidity adding a fresh, lightly savory edge. Its listed peak runs from 2025 through 2029 within a horizon to 2033; the finish should hold onto dark berry and spice before fading with a gentle, dry grip.
