Mark Lathrop’s talent with Tempranillo has led to his second Platinum in three years with this Spanish red variety that’s rapidly earned a following throughout the Northwest. Early on, there’s notes of Bloody Chocolate Cup — a treat made of dark chocolate, cherries and raspberries — with secondary sensations of cured meat and smoky tapenade. Length in the finish is reminiscent of a dry cappuccino with allspice. Qualifying award: Seattle Wine Awards (gold)
