<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vineyard Notes:</span><br>
The Inwood Estates 2004 Tempranillo is a full-bodied, fully-extracted, inky blend comprised of 64% Tempranillo and 36% Cabernet Sauvignon. Both grapes are grown at the same location in the <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Texas-High-Plains.html" target=_new>Texas High Plains appellation</a> just a few miles from the Texas-New Mexico border. The vineyard site, at Newsom Vineyards in Yoakum County, Texas, was chosen for its combination of high mineral soils and cold desert nights where the <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/grape-varietal/Tempranillo-|-Valdepenas.html" target=_new>Tempranillo grape</a>, in particular, found its perfect home for the development of tannin and brix.
<br><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> A Note on Terroir:</span><br>
The French term "<a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-review/114/Appellation-vs.-Terroir.html" target=_new>terroir</a>", meaning the land or soil, but more widely
known in the wine industry as the flavors conveyed from the soil and site elements to the wine, is critical in understanding our wines. Red fruit wines MUST have high mineral soils for their flavors to materialize. For this reason, Tempranillo has never been a significant grape for California. Yet this, and its native adaptability to hotter climates, make it the perfect wine variety for Texas with one caveat: Tempranillo must have a nighttime temperature of lower than 65 degrees every night during its ripening season (past veraision) to develop tannin and brix.
This is a process called "respiration" and this requirement excludes most of Texas from its production.
<br><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Varietal Notes:</span><br>
Tempranillo is a grape with the Red Fruit flavor profile, much like Pinot Noir, where
Cherries, Raspberries and Strawberries should be most evident. This is opposite of Black Fruit varieties like Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah where the dominant flavors should be Black Currant, Blackberries and Cassis.

<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Winemaking and Tasting Notes:</span><br>
The Inwood Estates 2004 Tempranillo-Cabernet is one of the "brightest" wines in the marketplace with the red-fruit characteristics bursting at the seams both in the glass and in the mouth. This brightness is not to be confused with lightness, as it is not light at 14.1% alcohol. In fact, the 2005 and 2006 wines are 14.3 and 14.5 respectively, however, it is important to hold the reins on the alcohol since <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-review/292/Lower-Alcohol-in-Wine.html" target=_new>high alcohols</a> are inconsistent with the tradition of red-fruit wines like Tempranillo and Pinot Noir.

Our winery tasting room is open Saturday and Sundays from 1 - 6 p.m. and by appointment
for special events.
