Belledor Vineyards’ 2022 Tempranillo from Shenandoah Valley is a bright, lively red with aromas of cherry, blueberry, and a hint of violet.
The palate leans toward juicy dark cherry and a touch of rhubarb, rounded by a subtle vanilla note. It feels medium-bodied and fresh rather than heavy, with clean acidity that keeps the wine balanced and easy to drink. If you enjoy a more elegant, fruit-forward style of Tempranillo, this has some of the charm of a young Rioja with a bit more California ripeness.
Serve it slightly cool with grilled lamb chops or roasted mushroom tacos.
