Winemaker Notes
The wine has smoky plum aromas with flavors of sour cherry, plums and black berries layered with cocoa and a touch of toast on the finish. This is a pretty, balanced wine with a silky texture and a rare example of cool, coastal climate Tempranillo.

COMMENTARY: The 2015 Verdad Tempranillo exhibits excellent Old World aromas and flavors. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers lovely ripe fruit, sandalwood, and savory spices. Enjoy it with a selection of grilled meats. (Tasted: May 20, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The realistically priced 2015 Tempranillo Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard was my favorite of these red releases from Verdad Wine Cellars, wafting from the glass with a classic bouquet of dried red berries, dill, herbs and earthy forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, chewy and bright, with crisp acids and a crunchy core of fruit. Decidedly savory and old-world in style, this should make for attractive drinking over the next 5-10 years.

Verdad is devoted to making Spanish grape varietal wines that express true varietal character as well as the vineyard’s terroir. The grapes are sourced from organic and biodynamic vineyards and are minimally processed in the cellar. The philosophy behind the winemaking is to grow the best fruit possible, pick at optimum balance and let the wines reflect what the vineyards have created.
The first vintage for Verdad was 2000. Verdad makes a dry Grenache based Rosé, a Santa Ynez Valley Albariño and Tempranillo as well as a Demeter certified biodynamic Albariño and Tempranillo from the Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard. The total production is about 2000 cases.
