Yorba 2008 Shake Ridge Vineyards Tempranillo (Amador County)

Country: US / Shake Ridge Vineyards
Variety: Tempranillo California
Winery: Yorba / Amador County

Aromatically this wine offers a lot of pleasant things, from anise and violet to pretty dark cherry and blackberry fruit. The tannins are pronounced and leathery, the mouthfeel quite concentrated, making it a hearty wine that could take a little more time in bottle to come around. The 2009 is more accessible.
