Big, beautiful red. First taste of a Tannat. Pretty garnet color. Modest nose of plum and dark cherry. soft tannins and nice balance with acid. Will definitely look for again.

Attractive shiny ruby/garnet colour. Red fruit, sour cherry, graphite, and cedar. Obvious, but not overt, acidity with short lived tannins which extend into the finish.

Abundant black fruit on the nose with moderately drying tannins on the palate. The fruit was subdued on the palate.
