Shake Ridge Ranch Tempranillo 2012

This is so well rounded! Dried flowers on the nose, followed by a palate with cherry up front and black licorice (anise) that's been rolled around in the dirt and picked up some spice along the way on the finish. — 10 years ago

Decanted for a couple of hours. Intense color, completely opaque almost like ink. The nose was incredibly complex, with roasted meat, dark fruit and balsamic notes. I could just sniff my glass for hours. Very dense and heavy on the palate, yet very complex and intense. The dark fruit was coating the palate, and the overall feeling was that it looked and felt like motor oil (in a positive way!). This a fascinating wine, unapologetically extracted and Californian. This wine is an experience not to be missed. Enthralling.
