Cinnabar 2012 Burbank Vineyard Tempranillo (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Burbank Vineyard
Variety: Tempranillo California
Winery: Cinnabar / Paso Robles

This presents a rather fresh take on this often extracted grape, with raspberry and boysenberry juice, black pepper, dried strawberries and a touch of wild mint. There are nice coffee elements on the palate, along with sage and brown spices, but the boysenberry and fresh purple fruits shine throughout.
