title: Iris Vineyards 2014 Aroha Vineyard Tempranillo (Umpqua Valley)
description: This AVA is a hotbed for this grape, as this ripe, robust effort demonstrates. Concentrated plum and cherry fruit has a whiff of leather, along with pretty baking spices. The tannins are substantial, and turn a bit chalky with plenty of skin flavors. Another couple of years of bottle age would be optimal.
variety: Tempranillo
designation: Aroha Vineyard
