2021 Kirchhoff Tempranillo Yolo County

San Francisco Wine Panel 92+ Points

This impressive, youthful, yet already distinctive wine offers (for a young Tempranillo) surprisingly well-evolved aromas of dry red cherry, cherry galette, dry cranberry, star anise, tiger lily and mincemeat. In the mouth, it is slightly tart, subtly tannic, yet it is flavorful and impressively long on the palate, where it delivers generous flavors that are a lingering mirror of the nose. This already fine dinner wine opens significantly with airing and will be even better in another two years or so. 96 cases produced.
