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?

May 7th, 2024Beautiful dark purple color. Great dark fruit on the nose. The tannins are very nice and balanced as you would expect from a california tannat. Again lots of fruit and a hint of tobacco with a pleasant lingering finish. Wish I had bought more!
