2005
Tempranillo
Lucchesi Vineyards & Winery
|
Dense ruby color precedes aromas of ripe plums layered with cardamom spice. Flavors of black cherry and cranberry are supported by well-integrated tannin, finishing long with a hint of toastiness. Our 2005 Tempranillo is incredibly food friendly, complementing a broad range of cuisine, as is proven by being one of the wines traditionally served with tapas.
