About the wine
Macario only makes Tempranillo in perfect years... and 2016 was ideal for it.
- Macario loves Tempranillo because it’s wild, rustic and savory. It’s wildly popular grape in Europe, but he insists it grows even better in the states. All that California sun gives it some extra roundness and power.
- Macario used his Angel funding to get Tempranillo from Clarksburg, an under-the-radar delta region with cool breezes that perfectly ripens fruit. The vineyard, Macro said, was “impeccable… managed like it was in Napa Valley.”
- This is a tailgate party wine for sure! Tastes great on its own but it's got the earthiness and spice to go with some juicy burgers if you're suddenly inspired to light up the grill.
Best before
This will last for a couple of years but it's made in a "drink now" style.
Serving advice
Decant a few hours and then drink until your heart is ready...
Food match
Go to your favorite burger joint, order a hamburger, or garden burger with all the fixings. Throw some bacon on it and some garlic fries. The pairing will blow your mind.

Meet the winemaker - Macario Montoya
Macario worked his way up from cellar worker to Napa and Sonoma star winemaker – leading by example for other Latino winemakers.
While Macario is Napa-based, he’s garnered attention for his Mediterranean-style wines in California – his Lodi blends and especially his Macario Montoya reds from Contra Costa’s heritage vineyards – whose label depiction of the old vines shows off the artistic talents of his brother, Maceo Montoya.
With your support, Macario’s reach knows no bounds – he is Sin Fronteras – without borders. He gives back tenfold, creating opportunities for underrepresented Latino winemakers like him through The Montoya Opportunity Fund

Not typical for tempranillo. Aged well since it is drinking well now. Juicy fruit with nice acidity and soft tannins. Great value.
Love this bottle!!!
A surprising boldness, smooth sipping. Tried this one from the basket at my husband's request and found it to be just my side of dry, with a big lush berry-forward flavor that paired extremely well with juicy burgers and huge slabs of summer tomato dusted with sea salt.
Have rarely met a Tempranillo I didn’t care for. This one fits the bill, too.
This wasn’t for me. I wouldn’t buy it again.
It was smooth very potent!
20200305 Macario Montoya really is the king of tempranillo wine. Drank this wine over three days with pairing of barley/lentil soup, BBQ and simple salad/chicken. All good. Dry wine with pretty big tannic finish of leather and smoke. Oaky taste up front and medium acidity.
Really liked this wine, had a great taste, went down easy and was well teamed with Rib-eye steaks!! After all, it IS a tempranillo!
