About Sutherland Estate Tempranillo
The Sutherland Estate Tempranillo opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe dark cherry, dried fig, and a whisper of smoked leather that speaks to careful oak maturation. On the palate, juicy red plum and blackberry fruit are framed by well-integrated tannins, with notes of vanilla, tobacco leaf, and a hint of earthy terracotta adding complexity. The finish is long and warming, with lingering spice and a touch of cedar that invites another sip.
