title: Quinta Cruz 2012 Pierce Ranch Tempranillo (San Antonio Valley)
description: Tight blueberry, hot blacktop and a flash of purple flowers combine for an earth-driven nose on this wine from a hot region in southern Monterey County. The flavors are quite distinctive, with barely ripe mulberries, cedar-edged blackberries, sandalwood shavings and a touch of graphite.
variety: Tempranillo
