Palencia Wine Company 2022 El Vinador Tempranillo

Published: June 17, 2025

This Wahluke Slope Tempranillo offers intriguing aromas alluding to cigar box, cedar, roasted coffee and hints of sweet vanilla wrapping around notes of dried fruit. On the palate, it delivers flavors on the tart side of cherry that linger on an extended mid-palate where they are met by growing earthy notes of cocoa that build toward a finish hinting at dark chocolate with a gravelly minerality.
