D’Angelo 2007 Tempranillo

Distinguished red grape of Rioha fame, this Tempranillo from D’Angelo Estate Winery on the Naramata Bench keeps the faith with developed aromas of tobacco, cocoa and prune, and a smooth, rich-textured palate evoking black fruit, coffee and dark chocolate backed by supple tannins. Partners roast lamb or pork. –Michael Botner
