2018 Gran Reserva
85% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano
Paper Street Vineyard, Willow Creek District, Paso Robles
In Spain, only a wine that uses fruit of the highest quality, crafted under the most stringent vinification practices, and aged for an extended period of time in both barrel & bottle are allowed to bear the distinction of being a "Gran Reserva"...and ours is no different. Tempranillo is Spain's viticultural gift to the world of wine, and thanks to the soils and climate of Westside Paso, this varietal is just as at home here as it is in the Old Country of the Spanish countryside.
We've sourced the highest quality Tempranillo & Graciano grapes from anywhere in the United States, and carefully mentored them on their journey from grape juice to wine, and finally allowing their fleding beauty to mature in 100% new French oak barriques for a full 3 years, ensuring that the complexities of the fruit and the nuances of the oak become inseparbly integrated. We believe this wine is an impeccable representation of who we are and what we do, and will entice the plate, exhilerate the nose, and intrigue the soul now for many years to come, should you choose to cellar this stallion of a wine.
