01Tasting notes
“Dried cherry, leather, cedar, and rain on warm stone.”
Dried cherry, leather, cedar, and rain on warm stone. Patient tannins. Long, savory finish that lingers on bay leaf and dark chocolate. Built for the slow Sunday and the second pour.
Our flagship. Estate Tempranillo from the original 2009 planting on the south-facing slope. We rest it in neutral French oak so the fruit speaks for itself. These vines do not need adornment.
Pairs with
- Smoked brisket
- Manchego with quince

Is this wine estate-grown?
Yes. Every Calicheridge wine is grown on our own twenty-eight acres east of Fredericksburg, fermented with native yeasts and aged in mostly neutral oak.
How should I store and serve it?
Keep it cool and on its side until you open it. Reds show best with a short decant; whites are happiest lightly chilled, not cold.
