TEMPRANILLO 2022

September 2026 Red Wine of the Month
Lynfred Winery Tempranillo 2022 brings a touch of Spanish soul to California-grown fruit. Deep ruby with warm brick hues, it unfolds with aromas of vanilla, toasted cedar, coconut, dried blueberries, and baking spices. Twenty-four months in American oak give the wine richness and depth, revealing dark fruit, charred oak, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, caramel, and earthy notes across the palate. Full-bodied and beautifully layered, it finishes round, complex, and confidently tannic. Pour it alongside paella, tapas, charcuterie, or grilled beef and let the evening linger a little longer.
