Latah Creek Reds

Latah Creek Tempranillo 2021

Winemaker Natalie’s favorite red wine, Tempranillo, combines a ruby hue with flavors of dark fruit, leather, and toasted earthiness, offering a silky, complex, and satisfying experience.

Latah Creek Tempranillo 2021

Father/daughter winemaking team, Mike and Natalie, love their red wine repertoire, but they also love adding new wines into the mix. Such was the case with Tempranillo and it also happens to be Natalie’s favorite red vartietal.  After a long discussion with one of her growers, she realized he had planted Tempranillo vines and they were just starting to produce full yields. She immediately put those vines under contract and now this complex wine with a balance between earth and fruit will be a mainstay.

Natalie’s Tasting Notes

This is my favorite red varietal because of it’s unique flavor profile. I love the Old World earthiness that Tempranillos, including this 2021 vintage, consistently present. This wine features a stunning ruby red hue, revealing dark fruit and delicate leather notes as it breathes.  Its silky smooth texture is complemented by hints of fig and cherry, all entwined with a toasty earthiness that lingers on the plate.

Food Pairing

Experience this wine as a perfect accompaniment to anything earthy, such as mushrooms or root vegetables, barbecue fare, and lamb.  Try Ellena’s Braised Root Vegetables recipe with your barbecued beef, available online or in her latest cookbook.
