Tempranillo – 2017; Perissos Vineyard and Winery; Burnet, Texas

This special Doro collection from Perissos features their 2017 Tempranillo. The discovery of a unique image at the bottom of the tank in the lees just naturally led to this incredible wine release, with such a beautifully artistic label.  Sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA and aged for three years in French oak, this bold and luscious red wine is full of rich flavors along with a big satisfying mouthfeel.  Cranberry and plum will be your main notes for this nearly seven-year-old jewel followed by some cherries. Let’s call this wine medium plus acidity with some nice firm tannins hanging in there. Of course, proper justice is due by pairing this special bottle with a great fatty meal food pairing. Enjoy well!
