Powerful, deep reds with firm tannins and dense texture, showing aromas of blackberry, leather, garrigue, black pepper, liquorice and animal notes (game, forest floor) with age. Star of Bandol AOC as a single variety and pillar of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Costières blends. Also in GSM in Languedoc and Australia. A late-ripening variety of Spanish origin (Mataró/Monastrell).
Southwest Oregon AVA (2004), warmer and drier than Willamette Valley. Southern and Bordeaux varieties as signature. Tempranillo signature red: supple with signature notes of ripe cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice hint, round tannins and sun-drenched palate — the emerging specialty. Bright peppery Syrah (blackberry, black olive), firm Cabernet, round Merlot, fruity Grenache.
