Grenache/Syrah/Tempranillo blend (equal parts)Vineyards: Meadowlark Hill, Paradox and Upper Five
(all Rogue Valley)Production: 75 cases The “Matador” is a blend that came to mind when the Upper
Five Vineyard planted its first Grenache vines.
Many people know that Tempranillo is a big grape in Spain. Less people know that Grenache (called
Garnacha in Spain) is also widely planted.
The regions of Narvarre and Priorat are the influences with this wine. It has deep meaty flavors, abundant yet
appropriate tannins, big black and blue fruits, and massive concentration.

70 Tempranillo 25 Syrah 5 GrenacheVineyards:Meadowlark Hills, Paradox and Upper Five
(all Rogue Valley)Production: 350 cases The goal with the “Tinto” is to make a wine that has the
structure and earth of “Old World” wines with some of the sweet fruit that is
prevalent in “New World” wines. The
Tempranillo is all about herbs, earth, dried cherries, and abundant tannins. The Syrah brings in lush and intense
blueberry fruit with aromas of bacon. The Grenache brings a nuance of
strawberry preserves and white pepper.
This is a fun wine that is meant for the dinner table or the backyard
barbecue.
