Availability: BCLDB stores
Cost: $12.99 + taxesAlcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: April 17th, 2017
Tasting Notes: The thick-skinned Tannat makes for a meaty alternative to Argentina's signature red grape, Malbec. Similar blackberry and plum fruit are on offer, but framed by smoky, olive-soaked, charcoal tannins on the dry, full-bodied, spice-infused palate. One could argue this wine is unrefined, but it is true to the variety and charmingly rustic. Excellent value.
Ready to go now, though, best after 4+ hours of decanting. Drink 2017-2019.
