About the wine
Lodi is the perfect place to grow this traditional Spanish grape variety
- Smooth, spicy and juicy all at once - Tempranillo is a wildly popular grape in Europe that is finally getting a cult following in the USA. Macario blends in a touch of Cabernet to give the wine some extra roundness and power.
- Macario used his Angel funding to get Tempranillo from Liberty Oaks Vineyards in the Lodi appellation which makes amazing fruit because the warm, intese daytime temperatures get the grapes to full maturity while the cooling night-time winds allow the grapes to maintain freshness and balance.
- This is a tailgate party wine for sure! Tastes great on its own but it's got the earthiness and spice to go with some burgers if you're suddenly inspired to light up the grill.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Macario Montoya
Macario worked his way up from cellar worker to Napa and Sonoma star winemaker – leading by example for other Latino winemakers.
While Macario is Napa-based, he’s garnered attention for his Mediterranean-style wines in California – his Lodi blends and especially his Macario Montoya reds from Contra Costa’s heritage vineyards – whose label depiction of the old vines shows off the artistic talents of his brother, Maceo Montoya.
With your support, Macario’s reach knows no bounds – he is Sin Fronteras – without borders. He gives back tenfold, creating opportunities for underrepresented Latino winemakers like him through The Montoya Opportunity Fund
