2019 Tempranillo Erlexte

This wine's hallmark sweet tobacco and leather aromas lead to ripe fruit flavors of black cherry and blackberry that mingle with coffee and dried fig notes. Backed by well-integrated tannins, for a long savory and earthy finish.

Tempranillo Erlexte - "erle" is bee and "exte" is house. Put those together for the bee hive, or where the bees live: Erletxe. Pronounced "air" and the "leche" (just like milk in Spanish).

Production: 138 cases
Perfect Pairings: Tapas and our Tempranillo are a match made in heaven! Try it with figs-cambozola-prosciutto crostini, stuffed mushrooms with garlic parmesan, & beef short ribs with sweet potato puree.
