S & A Amador Tempranillo 2014
About the wine
Proof that California has the same potential for depth and elegance as the Old World
- Rioja-lovers, eat your heart out – S & A Tempranillo is an age-worthy wine full of bright red fruit with an undercurrent of smooth, spicy earthiness. It's definitely worth cellaring for a few years and decanting long before you enjoy a glass.
- Thanks to Angel funding, Sarah & Ana got the best Tempranillo fruit money can buy from a single vineyard in Amador County. And they didn't worry about how they'd market the wine.
- This is the proof that California has the same potential for depth and elegance as the Old World.
Best before
Can remain in your cellar for the next 5-8 years.
Serving advice
If you just can't wait that long, please remember to allow the wine to breathe by either decanting for at least 30 minutes, or passing it through an aerative device.
