2022 El Paso Tinto, dry, 13.5% ABV, Hammeken Cellars

A great, uncomplicated cuvee of Tempranillo and Shiraz, which was aged for 2-3 months in French barriques. Intense aromas of red berries, sour cherries, plums, vanilla, cocoa, black pepper and pipe tobacco. A juicy, mild wine with a mild acidity and a light, velvety tannin structure.
