2022 Tempranillo
Blackberry and plum flavors meld into black tea and finishes with pepper and cloves.
Tasting notes
Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Owyhee hills and the warm glow of a high-desert sunset, this inaugural vintage of Tempranillo captures a spirit of wild elegance. The wine catches the light with an opaque, warm brick red color. On the nose, it introduces itself with a delicate blend of toasted wheat and minerals lifted by a subtle hint of cool mint and dill. The palate is wonderfully bright, featuring a medium body and a slightly silky texture that carries vibrant flavors of tart pomegranate and dried fruit. Grounded by notes of clay and whisper of allspice, this wine balances bright acid and light tannins for a truly memorable finish.
Production notes
Williamson Vineyard's first Tempranillo. We opted for limited new oak to let the variety shine.
