| Parador Rancho Chimiles Napa Valley Tempranillo 2004
Napa Valley, USA |
Product Notes:
'A sensational wine that could easily be mistaken for a top Tempranillo from Spain's famous Ribera del Duero region. Dense, rich cocoa notes, plus lots of spiciness and red-berry flavors. Medium-deep, plum and earth tones, backed by purple-red fruit nuances - Good acidity and compelling flavor.' - Karen MacNeil-Fife (Author of The Wine Bible) in Sunset Magazine November 2006

 About Estate:
Parador is a fairly new winery that began as a dream to grow the Tempranillo grape in California. In 1988, the first clones of Tempranillo were acquired from some of the top producers of Tempranillo in Spain's Ribera del Duero and Rioja regions. The vines were then brought back to California to a very small plot of land in Napa Valley called "Rancho Chimlies". Over the winery's short existence, it has already received much praise from authrorities in the wine industry.
