Aged Yolo County Tannat. With a whimsical name. Dark color with a rusty edge. Smells a bit funky. Spike of berry liquor. Hint of wood chips. Flavors are very heavy on the black currant with a hint of plummy-ness. Might be a bit past perfection. Not as much as much tannin and funk as some Tannat, but has plenty of style. Drinks a bit like a French wine. Wonder who is using these grapes now that Rockwall is out of business? — 8 months ago

Mid summer refreshment? Perhaps not, but comfort is so goddamn boring. Plus drinking Tannat initiates the search for other palindrome varieties. — 8 years ago

Nice mouthfeel, good texture - flavor was pleasant but not extraordinary. — 7 years ago

Rich and dense deep red fruit and some cedar with tobacco notes. Lots of complex flavors and Then plenty of smoothing tannins still. Really nice wine. — 8 years ago

Tannat - possibly the only palindrome grape variety - here in all it's unctuous, aubergine glory. Dark, stormy and passionate like a textbook Latin lover, it will mark you (and your couch if you're not careful). — 10 years ago
