2022 SYMPATICO
60% Tempranillo, 22% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre, 5% Mataro

2022 SYMPATICO

Wine Reviewer of The Wine Independent, Lisa Perrotti-Brown says, "The 2022 Sympatico is a blend of 60% Tempranillo, 22% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre, and 5% Mataro, with a deep garnet-purple color. Baked blackberries, plum preserves, and unsmoked cigars scents jump from the glass, leading to hints of garrigue and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate has firm, chewy tannins and bright acidity framing the taut, savory laced black fruit flavors, finishing on a minerally note." 94 points

Jeb Dunnuck says, "Based on 60% Tempranillo, 22% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, and 5% Mataro, the 2022 Sympatico reveals spiced red and black berries, graphite, leather, and sunbaked soil notes, as well as cedar pencil. Medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, complex, and satisfying, it shows good ripeness and should have 10-12 years of prime drinking. It was aged 18 months in 54% new, 23% once-used, and 23% neutral French oak. Drink 2025- 2037" 93 points

Blend: 60% Tempranillo, 22% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Mataro
Aging: 18 months in French oak puncheons (55% neutral, 45% once-used)

A bold yet balanced blend, the 2022 Sympatico highlights the power of Tempranillo with the elegance of Rhône varietals, creating a wine that is both structured and expressive.

On the nose, deep aromas of blackberry, plum, and cherry meld with earthy notes of mushroom, forest floor, and crushed rocks. Hints of cola, black pepper, and lavender add complexity, while subtle cigar box and garrigue lend a savory depth.

The palate is full-bodied with a soft yet vibrant entry. Layers of ripe blueberry, lingonberry, and plum preserves unfold, framed by bright acidity and firm, chewy tannins. The structure is well-integrated, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with lingering spice and earthy undertones.

A wine built for both immediate enjoyment and extended aging, the 2022 Sympatico pairs beautifully with grilled meats, Spanish-style tapas, or dishes featuring smoky, savory elements.
