Had this Spanish Rioja style wine about two months ago with Paul from winemaker Christian Tietje, and really enjoyed it. This is a big fruit bomb.
Wine Details:
Winery: Four Vines
Vintage: 2006
Appelation: California – Paso Robles “Tres Cajones Vineyard”
Varietal: Tempranillo, Syrah, and Grenache
The color is rich and dark purple, with a fruit forward nose. On the palate the big fruit is concentrated, a balanced effort with rich tannins with a hint of oak in the background. The finish is very long. This wine will improve with time. Big Big Rioja style wine.
