Layne Vineyard
TNT Tannat
Applegate Valley, Southern Oregon, Oregon, USA
Opened this to start my binge of the last season of GOT. Day Wines, Dundee, Oregon is the producer. This is 100% Tannat grapes from Layne Vineyard, Applegate Valley AVA, southern Oregon. Bright purple-red, light to moderate pigment extraction. Some black currant in nose. Not much flavor initially, cherry-citrus tang in finish. Needs time to open, acidity is high with a mouthful of seed and skin tannins. Moderate astringency on finish. Red fruit flavors, mostly cherry, gradually emerge, with cherry-orange in finish. Takes a full two hours before wine fully integrated; the seed tannins resolve but the skin astringency remains moderate.
