2018 Cayuse Impulsivo Tempranillo En Chamberlin Vineyard | Walla Walla Valley Washington 750ml

...may be the best Tempranillo bottling I have tasted from Cayuse Vineyards. The wine broods in the glass. Aromatically, you're greeted by a brilliant core of dark fruits with tobacco leaf, black tea and tar tones. The palate is soft and generous with a sensuous mouthfeel. Even with 50% new large-format French oak, this doesn't get close to being overly oaked. Silky and elegant to savor now, it has a really long life ahead of it. This is in a league all its own for North American Tempranillo. | 97 points, Owen Bargreen for Vinous
