Tannat (80%)/Cabernet Franc (20%) blend. Deep purple color. Dark black fruit aromas and flavors. Hints of smoke and oak. Just a bit of a green note but it incorporates beautifully. Nicely structured, as the Tannat was not over extracted. Tannins are present but not overly grippy. Alcohol is also reasonable at 13.5%. Give this one a bit of a decant. This wine has benefited from aging. Thank You Ron B. Revisited in January 2023. Above notes still apply. Hint of menthol on the finish.

"This dark, inky red is one you should absolutely have this bottle on hand for hard days, chilly spring nights and meaty summer bbqs. It's 80% Tannat, a tannic, dark-purple, thick skinned varietal that must be hand-harvested because the stubborn grapes are too tough for machines to shake from the vines, and there's 20% Cabernet Sauvignon for good measure. The wine is intense, but super well balanced; masculine, with a soft side. It craves deep conversation or a really good movie, and maybe some grilled meat too. $15"
