This varietal is the main grape of Spain’s marvelous Rioja Region. Heady aromas of blackberry and current on the nose blend with leather, tobacco and cinnamon overtones. Cassis and plum fill the middle pallet, and well-structured tannins lead directly into a spectacular finish. 100% Tempranillo, aged 15 months in French oak. Pairs well with Roasted Sweet Potato Chili or Poblanos stuffed with Chorizo and Chayote. Enjoy now but will age nicely in the bottle until 2020.

Chile Rellenos al Horno

Tip: use good quality thick-fleshed canned chiles. Make a slit down the side and spread them flat. Line the baking dish, then spoon the filling over instead of trying to stuff them. Bell peppers should be used only in desperation. The following recipe gives both the customary meat version and an optional cheese version. Pair with the 2012 Kenneth Volk Tempranillo.

Warm and inviting, this sweet potato chili will have you going back for seconds! The bold flavors of the chili would pair wonderfully with Opolo's 2013 Tempranillo or 2013 Sangiovese.
