Sep 22nd, 2015Very rich aroma and flavor; definitely oaked; high tannins; concentrated fruit; not very complex, but nice combination of fruit and tannins; tastes like Zinfandel but with less alcohol

Mar 16th, 2015Dark red purple in the glass. Shy nose at first. Meaty dark fruit and charred vanilla on the nose. Echoed on the smoky palate intro'd by firm tannins and wrapped in good medium plus acidity. This excellent example of New World Tannat should last for several years.
