GOLD MEDAL WINNER 2012 WASHINGTON STATE WINE COMPETITION

2009 A Night in Madrid

I fell in love with my wife a second time over a glass of Rioja one memorable night in Madrid. En amor, as the Spanish say...

...It may have been the pairing with the delicious tapas. No doubt the candles and gypsy music added to the romantic mood. It’s hard to say exactly, but I was enchanted by that wine and I heard its siren song.

The “Madrid” is my personal expression of that wine and that night. It’s a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes made in small vats and truly hand-crafted. It’s elegant and aromatic with faint notes of black cherry, pomegranate, and vanilla. ¡Buen provecho!

Everyone has a siren song. What’s yours?

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes Fruit forward on the nose with faint notes of black cherry, pomegranate, and vanilla.

Winemaker Notes This is an elegant wine. Drink it with crusty bread, pungent cheese (we love Basque sheep's milk cheese), and olives. It's perfect with a full meal, too.

Food Pairing Notes Pair this with steak, pork roast, or a spicy lasagna. Our favorite Spanish food pairings are gambas al aljillo (shrimp cooked in garlic, olive oil, and butter), tortilla, and, of course, paella.
