May Wine-of-the-Month:
Tempos Vega Sicilia, “Pintia”, Toro DO, Castilla-León, Spain 2020 (100% Tinto Fino aka: Tempranillo)
Retail Price: $210
The 2020 Vega Sicilia Pintia is a bold yet polished expression of Tempranillo from Spain’s rugged Toro region, crafted by the legendary estate Vega Sicilia, widely regarded as one of the country’s most iconic producers. The nose offers notes of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry layered with violets, cocoa, sandalwood, and a hint of spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering concentrated black fruit framed by firm but finely sculpted tannins and subtle notes of vanilla, espresso, and mineral that linger on the finish. The 2020 vintage was notably warm and dry in Toro, producing wines of impressive concentration and power, though careful harvesting and gentle winemaking preserved freshness and balance. Terrific with the Ribeye!
