The flagship red, the 2021 Tempranillo Tinta Alta is nearly all Tempranillo with 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes sourced widely from such marquee sites as Stagecoach, Shake Ridge, and Pierce Ranch, basically blending all the best Tempranillo across California into one super wine. Aged 22 months in 20% new French oak, it tastes of mushroom umami, with a racy texture and an underlying richness of dark cherry, more Burgundian in texture and refined elegance than Spain or New World. - Virginie Boone
