Palate
Our Tempranillo is a beast of a wine, one of the few Booker wines that we recommend cellaring for a few years before drinking. We have a very small corner block planted with Tempranillo. We do not bottle this wine every year, and when we do it is usually our smallest case count of all our wines. Dark as Zorro’s cape, this wine offers fresh aromas of running through a forest abundant with wild blackberries and blueberries dusted with nutmeg and vanilla. Purple oral notes and bright minerality give way to Chinese five spice bursting at the seams. Smooth and rich velvety tannins finish off this large but gentle beast.
