Having created Pingus - the great estate of Ribera del Duero and one of the greats in the world - Peter Sisseck created Psi to explore the region's "soul" and, especially, the unrealized potential of many of its great vineyards. This is simply stunning Ribera del Duero Tempranillo, fully ripe with deep, dark, blackberry and black plum fruit packed in tight with accents of sour cherry, blood orange, and savory sandalwood and spice and framed by firm, refined, tannins. Decant for an hour and match up with lamb or pork or cellar for 10+ years.
For You If: You love the mixture of black fruit and blood orange that Ribera Tempranillo shows when it’s perfectly ripe and not crushed by oak; you want a perfect match for steak or lamb that shows more freshness and savory character than a Napa Cab and less oak that most Rioja.
Not For You If: You’re after the tart tang and American oak spice of traditional Rioja or the broad fruit and French oak flavors of most traditional Ribera del Duero.
"The 2021 PSI is 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha sourced from old vines planted in calcareous soils and was aged for up to 16 months in mostly sizeable French oak barrels. In the glass, it's garnet-red with a light purple sheen. The nose offers blood notes along with sour cherry and blackberry, intertwined with violets and dried flowers, resulting in a layered, complex profile. On the palate, it's dry and velvety. Chalky tannins define a compact mouthfeel and long-lasting fruit and floral flavors. The 2021 is a distinctive Ribera del Duero with excellent nuance and agility."
