WINE DESCRIPTION

Matchbook Tempranillo is a premium red wine produced by Matchbook Wine Company, a family-owned winery located in the Dunnigan Hills appellation of California. The vineyard features rocky soils and a Mediterranean climate, which allows the Tempranillo grapes to thrive and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves aging the wine in French oak barrels for a period of time, which imparts a subtle vanilla and spice flavor to the wine. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied red with a deep ruby color and aromas of dark fruit and tobacco. The palate is rich and smooth, with flavors of black cherry, plum, and a hint of leather. This wine is a perfect match for grilled meats and hearty stews.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Matchbook Tempranillo is a complex and well-balanced wine with aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry and black pepper.On the palate, intense flavors of dark berry fruits and spice mingle with hints of oak and espresso. The tannins are silky and the finish is long and smooth. Enjoy this wine with grilled steak or a hearty stew.
