A Rioja-style blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha. We have quite a hodgepodge of tasting notes for The Spaniard, so rather than wrap a narrative of questionable cleverness around them, we’re just going to throw them right at you: “Cherry Black Currant bomb” “Cedar cherry tobacky” “Great gams” (gams?) “Fruitalicious”
Finished with 30% new French, American, and Hungarian oak; 70% neutral oak.
Pair this with Meat! If you don’t ever drink this with lamb, you’re not livin’ right!! Well-marbled beef by itself, or lean cuts of beef with rich sauces. How about a smoked Spanish Paprika rubbed Ribeye topped with thick applewood smoked bacon and Cabrale Spanish Blue? How about it?

About The Winery
Winery: Twisted Oak Winery
Owners: Jeff and Mary Stai
Founded: 2004
Location: Murphys, CA
We’re often asked what the background of Twisted Oak is, to which we invariably reply, “The Sierra Nevada, of course!” If we are pressed further, we are forced to admit that Twisted Oak Winery is the culmination of a delusion, er, vision by Jeff and Mary Stai. The vision was of a terroir-based winery making superior, hand-crafted, yummy wines, and then having more Twisted fun than anyone in the industry selling them.
Jeff and Mary found 120 acres just outside Murphys in the Sierra Foothills at nearly 2000 feet elevation. It is there that they planted 10 acres of vineyards in Tempranillo, Grenache, Graciano, and Touriga Naçional to take advantage of the continental Mediterranean soil types and climate. It is on top of this property, with an amazing view of the Sierra, where the state-of-the-art, no-pumpover, four-level gravity flow winery was built. When completed in 2004 it included open-tank, stainless steel fermenters along with our own 300-foot barrel cave. This was all under the watchful eye of a 350-year-old California Blue Oak tree that not only is our namesake but also adorns every Twisted Oak bottle.
Whatever the formula Jeff & Mary have devised for Twisted Oak, it has been validated by the hundreds of consumers that buy us out of wine each and every year. Twisted Oak Winery has also received accolades from publications and competitions which have graced us with many scores of 90 or above. We think the Wine Enthusiast put it best “The gang at Twisted Oak Winery are taking winemaking in this area to the next level…” Cheers! And always, keep it Twisted! Twisted Oak Winery!

two or three way SoCal split?
@rjquillin I’ve already got 4 of these from the closing down sale. At 50% more than this price.
@klezman Yeah, and I had a mixed library case poached there while I was picking out other bottles.
@rjquillin Texting El jefe could have solved that! Maybe still could?
@klezman
I did, and nope; some were the last of the vintages.
@rjquillin already bought a 3 pack, pricing was too similar to warrant a split.
