This is half Tempranillo, one quarter Garnacha, one quarter Monastrell. Pop the cork and right away come aromas with a mix of exotic, seductive spices, vanilla, sweet grain, plum and some bakery sweetness. The fruit is plump and dotted with dried herb, dusted with powdered sugar, open and expansive.

A sexy, lush, flat-out beautiful nose introduces this dusty, decadent wine. The blackberry fruit is ripe and highlighted with pastry spices and crust with hints of light dried herb. It is starting to move into secondary fruit flavors, lush and round and full-bodied, and the finish adds veins of earth and smoke and forest floor. Really a revelation.

The second vintage of Salida’s Tempranillo from Two Coyote vineyard fruit is a wine with tight structure, a wireframe of tannin and mineral supporting beautiful aromatics. A subtle, evocative wine, it instantly explodes with violets, cherries and berries. Then it seems to stop short, though it doesn’t fade; rather, it hits a wall. Compact, dense with exotic scents and spices, and great structure. Give it time.

Instantly, beautifully fragrant, this jumps from the glass with fresh strawberry/watermelon scents, pretty, fruity and quickly approachable. In the mouth it shows chunky black fruits, some astringency, a slightly green edge to the tannins. Overall a chewy, almost blocky wine, a good quaffer—the kind of wine you want to drink, not analyze.

This is 62% Tempranillo (Sugarloaf vineyard) and 38% Malbec (Two Coyote vineyard). A whiff of pipe tobacco leads into a mother lode of black cherry, introducing a lush palate of mixed purple and black fruits, with interesting herbal highlights extending right into the finish. Full and fruity, with flashes of spice and herb lighting it up like fireworks in the night sky.
