The 2008 Tempranillo Estate contains 20% Cabernet Sauvignon in its blend. Smoky black fruits, pepper, clove, violets, and blackberry elements compose the wine's expressive bouquet. In the glass it opens to reveal good concentration, ripe fruit, good volume, and a lengthy, fruit filled finish. It is another example of the potential for Tempranillo in eastern Washington. Drink this tasty offering over the next 6-8 years. Tel. (509) 301-9229; www.giffordhirlinger.com
