Well behaved, neat and tidy, fruity yet dry, having tasted the Tannat prior this was not as mouth active. I suspect I'd love it more without competition.

This is the kind of wine that swaggers up to the microphone & dawls,"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." It's a big, bold, full-bodied red with a fair amount of tannin & acidity, but it still goes down oh so easily. Lovely aroma that tingles the back of your nose. Hits all the taste buds: fruity & spicy with just the right amount of oak at the end. I grumble about paying for hype with a lot of higher priced wines, but the craftsmanship shows with this one. Yes please.

We Love Tannat and when we saw that Tobin James had this we had to pick it up. It was everything we were looking for.
