Tempranillo Barrel Samples Vertical Tasting
Ruby Magdalena Vineyards
WA – Rattlesnake Hills
$45.00 ($72.00 MSRP)
This package deal includes one 750 ml bottle of our 2013 Estate Tempranillo, one 375 ml bottle of our 2016 Estate Tempranillo (stored in barrel for 15 months), pulled directly from the barrel, stabilized and bottled for our winemaker to evaluate, and one 375 ml bottle of our 2017 Estate Tempranillo (stored in barrel for only 3 months), pulled directly from the barrel, stabilized and bottled for our winemaker to evaluate. This is a very rare chance to experience these wines side by side, as the winemaker does, to evaluate the progress of the aging in barrel and the development of the wine’s complexity.
Tempranillo, Our Most Popular Red Varietal Wine
Spain is the kingdom of Tempranillo! Thick skin gives this grape deep color and rich tannins. Tempranillo is the backbone of the blends of Rioja. With flavors of spice, leather, tobacco leaves, and sometimes strawberry, this variety is both austere and complex. No wonder it is finding its niche with the American public.

Garnacha Tinta, our Rosé Varietal Wine
Known in France as well as in America as Grenache Noir, this Spanish grape is an important variety throughout the world. In blends of the Rioja region of Spain, it contributes alcohol, and fleshes out the blend with a herbaceous and often times strawberry component. This grape really shines when used to produce a dry or off dry rosé as in Provence or the Bandol region of France as well as many Spanish rosés.

Graciano
Red Varietal Wine to be released in 2018
This variety has a delicate yet persistent aroma with notes of red fruit, mint, and pepper. It is native to the Rioja region of Spain where it is used as an accent to the other major grapes of the regional blend. Despite the delicacy of its aroma, it can contribute a surprisingly powerful and spicy flavor component. We hope to release a varietal Graciano wine in Mid 2018.
Orange Muscat
La Petirroja Dessert Wine to be released in 2018
Although not Iberian, this variety really shines in the Venito of Italy (where it is known as Moscato Fior d’Arancio) where its floral, orange blossom aromas lend delicacy to their wines. Planted at RMV in 2011, we will see our first small crop in 2015, and release an estate dessert wine in late 2018! We are hoping to produce a wine with the complexity of Italy’s Vin Santo, a favorite of ours.
