Las Violetas Tannat de Reserva
So funny compaired to the other coments. I found this Tannat light compaired to the other five I have tasted. Reminds me of Chanti not a big bold in you face tannat. All that being said for under 15 bucks its not bad but i probably wouldnt buy it again

1 person found it helpfulMar 17th, 2016Decanted for over 2 hours & could've gone longer. Almost artificial grape juice aromatics with some toasty oak notes. Dark blackberry in color. Charcoal notes mixed with a boysenberry jamminess. Smooth finish. Big crowd pleaser

Nice balance and fruit.

Sep 12th, 2013Plums, cherry and touch of damp forest on the nose. Match sticks, cherry stem, sour fruit and surprising amount of heat on the palate. Stands tall against a good charcuterie plate, and a steakhouse pleaser, but you'll find more joy across the border... Very earthy and acidic, almost like a thicker Pinot noir wearing clothes 2 sizes too big, or a Malbec that arrived hungover and hungry.
