La Herencia 2024
McPherson Cellars
La Herencia, an homage to Spain’s leading red grape, this Tempranillo blend marries the savory, tobacco, and red fruit elements evocative of its homeland with the bright, earthy, dark fruit characters of the Texas High Plains. Spanish for heritage, “La Herencia” deftly balances brawny flavors with an elegant structure. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and then oak aged to soften the tannins further and enhance the aromas of tart black plum, concentrated red cherry framed by aromas of smoky cigar box. Judicious use of oak reveals hints of vanilla and cedar, leading to a soft, yet earthy finish. A great pairing for grilled meats or mushroom risotto.
78% Tempranillo, 12% Graciano, 10% Grenache
