The Tempranillo and Graciano vines in the Dunnigan Hills Matchbook Vineyard come from cuttings imported from the Pesquera region of Spain. While maintaining the traditional flavors of earth, leather and spice in these old-world varietals, Matchbook Tempranillo bears its California upbringing in the expansive aromas of black cherry and vanilla. Rich flavors of coffee and mocha mingle with fresh cranberries and rhubarb. The 2012 Tempranillo is bold yet smooth, with firm tannins and a long finish. Pair with Spanish paella or blackened steak.

Blend: 84% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 8% Petit Verdot
