2Hawk Vineyard Tempranillo 2017

Rogue Valley AVA, Oregon

A blend of 90% Tempranillo, 7% Grenache, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 22 months in 10% new, 25% 2-year-old and 65% neutral American oak.

Deep rich ruby color with ripe aromatics of black fruit, tobacco, leather, vanilla, smoke. A sip of round, plush tannins gives the wine its generous body and length on the palate. Flavors of black raspberry, black plum, blueberry, dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla bean, clove and minerals has a rich finish. The 13.9% is well integrated and warming.

Fire up the grill because this wine deserves meat - like grilled prosciutto wrapped pork loin or smoking rib eye steak with all the trimmings.
