WTN: California Tempranillo

by David M. Bueker » Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:52 pm

2011 Enfield Wine Co. Tempranillo Shake Ridge - USA, California, Amador (4/6/2014)
Had the 2011 Syrah last night, so this is a big change. This is a more elegant wine in style. Aromas of red cherries, dust, herbs, flowers and a hint of licorice make this quite complex. The finish is a bit clenched, though a little shipping shock might account for that, as the wine only arrived on Wednesday.. I look forward to following this over the course of the evening, as well as following my other bottles over the next several years.

David,
My first better experience of CA Tempranillo was from Wilderotter, also in Amador. There are several growers out there trying this variety out.
