Red Lily Vineyards Tempranillo 2018
Double Gold & 96 Points | Savor NW
Bolander's Lily, a rare species of red lily, is found in the Sistiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon. Red Lily Tempranillo is also a rarity - a unique expression of the complex and intense nature of this ancient Spanish varietal.
Tasting notes
This 100% Tempranillo is deep garnet-purple in color and offers up intense scents of crushed black currants, ripe black plums and boysenberries with touches of cigar box, leather, and fig jam. Full-bodied and explosive, the palate is an exercise in poise, with beautifully balanced, weighty tannins and seamless freshness supporting the intense fruit, finishing long and layered.
