Petit Torus Madiran Tannat Blend
Madiran, Southwest France, France
That it’s 6 yrs of age & presents as young & fresh as it does says a lot about its Tannat core- 60% Tannat, the rest Cabernet Sauvignon & Cab Franc. Juicy but a secondary wave of tannic undertow. Red fruited & delish. For about 15$ a cool choice for a party wine. Intro to a raucous family night watching a great Knicks win.

Tart red cherry, blackberries, savory herbs, and black pepper. Smooth, medium bodied. Drinkable on its own, but paired well with curried short ribs and potatoes.
