A wine that will leave you mostly dead? Inconceivable! A Rioja-style blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha.

Made at Twisted Oak by Winemakers of Unusual Size, this swashbuckling Calaveras blend is so big you’ll need six fingers to hold the bottle. It’s inconceivable that one could resist these aromas and flavors as big as Fezzik himself. Share it with your special Buttercup, a Gentle Giant, or the entire Kingdom… as you wish.

All Twisted Oak Vineyards! 54% Tempranillo, Spaniard block; 36% Graciano, Willow block; 20% Garnacha, Colina Roja block.

Finished with 30% new French, American, and Hungarian oak; 70% neutral oak.

Pair this with Meat! If you don’t ever drink this with lamb, you’re not livin’ right!! Well-marbled beef by itself, or lean cuts of beef with rich sauces. How about a smoked Spanish Paprika rubbed Ribeye topped with thick applewood smoked bacon and Cabrale Spanish Blue? How about it?

We have quite a hodgepodge of tasting notes for The Spaniard, so rather than wrap a narrative of questionable cleverness around them, we’re just going to throw them right at you: “Cherry Black Currant bomb” “Cedar cherry tobacky” “Great gams” (gams?) “Fruitalicious” “Way better than beer” “A great [Italian] red” (that was one confused taster, and we won’t repeat the inappropriate ethnic characterization that rhymes with Winnebago.) Our favorite: “It’s turtles all the way down!” OK, so that last one is maybe too hip for the room (you can read about it on Wikipedia) - we’re pretty sure he was referring to the long finish… or as a once-famous wine video star once exclaimed, “It’s like the Marlboro Man in your mouth!”
