Limited Release

2005 Central Coast Tempranillo

The Concannon Limited Release Tempranillo from the 2005 vintage is a truly expressive wine hailing from California's Central Coast region. This red showcases a medium-bodied profile, seamlessly combining vibrant acidity and a robust fruit intensity that is both inviting and captivating. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that elevates the wine's refined character. Its dry nature allows the flavors of dark cherry, plum, and hints of spice to shine through, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. With its rich fruit-forward notes and balanced structure, this Tempranillo embodies the essence of the Central Coast's unique terroir and is a fantastic representation of the varietal.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
