Brix at time of harvest: 25.4

Tannat is a varietal not so commonly found in the United States. It’s grown
primarily in the Pyrenees and South America and is used as the base of many
Basque wines. Ours comes from Silvaspoons Vineyards in Lodi, one of the few
vineyards in California growing this intriguing grape.
The nose has smoky, dusty qualities reminiscent of cabernet layered with
classic cherry and ripe plum fruit. Its substantial palate shows deep red ripe
fruit flavors, well integrated tannin and hints of French oak.
This 2005 Tannat is an elegant example of a varietal with humble
beginnings.
