Tempranillo

2009 Sonoma Valley Tempranillo

The Gundlach Bundschu Tempranillo from the 2009 vintage exemplifies the lush character of Sonoma Valley, showcasing its ability to produce exceptional wines. This delightful red exhibits a full body complemented by vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, delivering a mouthwatering experience. With a pronounced fruit intensity, the wine reveals rich notes of dark cherry, plum, and a hint of blackberry, perfectly balanced by the wine's subtle yet persistent tannins that add structure without overpowering the fruit. This Tempranillo is dry yet remains approachable, making it a fantastic choice for a variety of culinary pairings, from grilled meats to savory stews. Overall, it is a splendid representation of the varietal, encapsulating the essence of its growing region with every sip.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
