Curran - Tempranillo

Tempranillo

Santa Barbara County, CA

Located in the less well-known California wine region of Santa Barbara, D'Alfonso Curran Wines is comprised of Bruno D’Alfonso and Kris Curran, both of whom went on to get a degree in enology after completing their first college degrees and who, collectively, have more than 50 years of winemaking experience under their belts. Their Curran line was born out of Kris' love for Spanish grape varietals and their ability to thrive in California. This light bodied red has silky tannins and tasting notes of red fruit including raspberry and cranberry complimented by dried strawberries, leather and spice. It is incredibly food friendly and can be paired with many dishes including grilled vegetables, paella and hard cheeses.
