“Dusty plum, vanilla, orange peel and spice aromas form the high point on this sharp-edged…
…Flavors of salty plum and pie cherry are tart and punchy, while this is snappy, tight and drawing on a saucy finish.”

Oak ageing: 12 months (30% of the wine without oak in order to keep the best expression of the variety).

“In terms of varietal identity, this tannat has tremendous character. Sharp-focused and
honest, this Reserve Collection comes from old vineyards and was aged for a year
in barrels, 20% new.”

A bright nose with pretty, lifted notes of raspberries and red cherries. Vibrant on the palate with forthright acidity and crunchy berries. A tad tart on the finish. Drink now.

Harvest: 2010
“Attractive ruby color, nose of rich ripe red fruit such as red currants, and a fruit flavor on
the palate of cranberries and loganberries. Soft tannins and racy acidity. It is made with
5 days cold maceration (no dissolution of tannins in must) get the color but not too much
tannins. Then separate skins to get the fruit. This creates a less structured, less tannic
wine made without barrels that can be enjoyed within six months.”

Harvest: 2009
“Deep ruby color, juicy fruit on the nose, and on the palate a nicely structured wine with elegance and refinement from the oak maturation. Some spice. Well behaved.
Can drink alone or pair with food.”
