Viña Cornejo Costas
Don Rodolfo Tannat
Cafayate, Salta, Northwestern Provinces, Argentina
Opened this for my youngest daughter, who likes to taste Tannats as they aren’t too common on wine lists, etc. another high-altitude production from Argentina & while dense - it wasn’t overtly “chewy” like some Tannat? Could be the age, as it may have peaked 4-5yrs prior, but provided great, dark fruit - blackberry, red plum & deep fresh red/green pepper. Still stained my teeth, so far from a total waste :)
