Wild Horse Peak Mountain Vineyards

2008 South Coast Tempranillo

This red wine exudes a medium body with a captivating balance of bright acidity and soft tannins, making it approachable yet complex. The fruit intensity is prominently forward, with luscious notes of cherry, plum, and hints of dark berries that dance on the palate. The wine finishes with a subtle dry character, allowing the nuanced flavors to linger gracefully. This charming Tempranillo is a fantastic choice for various pairings, from hearty stews to grilled meats, making it an inviting option for any occasion.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
