St. Amant Tempranillo 750ml 2005 Sku: 50997304
yle="color: red">Hand Picked St.Amant’s fifth vintage of this noble Spanish grape, known as the Cabernet Sauvignon of Spain. Yes, this is a Tempranillo from California and it is mind blowing. It has everything we look for when choosing a great red from Rioja or Ribera del Duero: the cigar box bouquet with huge dark fruit palate concentration and well integrated tannins on the finish. St. Amant Winery is a small family owned winery that prides itself in producing hand-crafted wines of superb quality. The wine is full and rich with incredible concentration for the price. A spectacular bouquet of dark berry fruits and smoky cedar. Masses of black currant and black fruits on the palate that is rich and unctuous and so pleasing and inviting on the palate. Long and full-bodied, with terrific fruit purity, and good softness and acidity, this is a stunning red not to be missed. Drinkable now, it promises to last and improve for 8-10 years. One of the greatest wine discoveries ever at Grapes.
