2022 Mythology “Special Reserve” Tempranillo | 92pts | Exclusive Pre-Release

BC, Okanagan Valley, Osoyoos
100% Tempranillo | Dry wine | 12.8% ABV
92pts Carl’s Wine Club

This rare Tempranillo delivers all the varietal characteristics I hope for. Light on its feet yet well-supported by a generous oak regimen (50% new French and American barrels), it’s fresh, vibrant, and pure—beautifully balanced and undeniably seductive. Sourced from Mythology’s home vineyard in Osoyoos, this ONE-barrel gem showcases the diversity of the South Okanagan terroir. The nose offers classic Tempranillo floral aromas of violet, cedar, dried sage, red plum, and a hint of vanilla, creating an expressive bouquet. On the palate, it remains slightly grippy—a nod to its 30 months in barrel—but that structure is part of its charm. The balance between oak influence, alcohol, and mid-palate weight is absolutely spot-on. Flavours of plum, crushed raspberry, orange peel, red licorice, black olives, fresh cracked pepper, and a generous helping of oak spices align perfectly, delivering a wine that can remind you of your last trip to Spain’s wine country.
