Ana Diogo-Draper Paso Robles Tempranillo 2017
About the wine
A Central Coast twist on a Spanish classic
- Last time it was Amador -- now Ana’s giving Tempranillo the California treatment again, this time by way of the Central Coast. For her first wine sourced from Paso Robles, Ana chose vineyards specifically for their ability to grow the kind of Tempranillo she loves.
- Your investment helped Ana get her hands on the perfect fruit for this wine. So what do you get? A fresh and full-bodied glass of goodness with flavors like blackberry and mocha gliding over a velvety mouthfeel to a smooth finish.
-
Pair with a hefty helping of cheese and prosciutto, roasted leg of lamb or a savory rack of ribs. Open tonight or in a few years – either way, you’ll definitely need more than one bottle.
Best before
Due to the fact that this wine presents a significant tannin profile, is rich in color and has great acidity, it will age in your cellar over a long period of time. However, if you're patient enough and decant it for 1 to 2 hours, you can enjoy it right away. Pour yourself a glass and see the wine opening up its fruit and flavor profiles while you wait.
Serving advice
Please be sure to open it at least 1 hour before you plan on drinking it, so all the flavors can fully emerge and those powerful tannins can soften.
Food match
This is a full-bodied wine, which will pair great with hefty dishes like an exquisite charcuterie plate or a roasted rosemary-rubbed leg of lamb. It will also pair incredibly well with anything barbecued.
