K Vintners “El Jefe” 2002 (Washington)

Producer: 
K Vintners
Item name: 
El Jefe
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

Charles at “K” Vintners has outdone himself with his latest Spain meets Walla Walla, Washington creation called “El Jefe”. This 2002 vintage is a blend of 80% tempranillo and 20% cabernet sauvignon. A bullfight in a bottle, this wine features an exuberant thrust of flavor balanced by the finesse and sustained finish of the triumphant matador.
