While the lyrics of "tip toe through the tulips" might make one think of Tiny Tim,
know that there's nothing tiny about these two terrific tempranillos!
Words like dense, rich, chewy, captivating, lush and vivacious come to mind!
Think exotic! Think rare! Think unusual!

(100% tempranillo) Inky ruby. Cherry-cola, espresso, vanilla and dark chocolate on the highly perfumed nose. Dense, chewy and rich, with complex flavors of blackberry, cherry, candied licorice and violet perked up by lively acidity. Finishes very long, with fine-grained tannins and a spicy quality.

(100% tempranillo) Opaque ruby. Utterly captivating nose mixes black and blue fruits, smoky minerals, mocha and potpourri. Lush and sweet and surprisingly vivacious, with seriously opulent blackberry and boysenberry flavors complicated by vanilla and spicecake. Broad, concentrated, palate-staining wine with a refreshing light touch to its spicy, very long finish.
