Bodegas Volver, “Paso a Paso”, 2021 Castilla, Spain

Paso a Paso’s organic Tempranillo is bold and flavorful. It aged 6 months in second and third vintage French oak barrels. Look for scents of smoke-accented black currants and cherry compote along with suave floral, vanilla, and toasty graham cracker undertones. The mid palate is medium bodied with velvety tannins. The wine closes with a grippy finish that provides a backbone to stand up to food. Sip Paso a Paso with grilled meats, red sauce, or lamb burgers.
