The Artesa Limited Release Tempranillo is a rich, fruity red wine that is an excellent expression of the Spanish style Tempranillo. The wine grapes were grown on rocky terrain with hot days and cool nights, leading to premium and balanced development of the fruit. The flavor of this wine is intense and aromatic, beginning with boysenberry and cassis on the nose. The palate combines these flavors with dark cherry and blackberry. Rich tannins and a luscious finish are rounded out with toasty French oak notes.
