Abacela 2013 Barrel Select Tempranillo (Umpqua Valley)

Country: US / Barrel Select
Variety: Tempranillo Oregon
Winery: Abacela / Umpqua Valley

Estate grown and aged in 31% new barrels, this offers dense purple fruits, scents of violets and mocha, and a smoky thread that carries into the finish. There are strong flavors of cedar box and graphite, and the tannins are chewy and substantial.
