2007 Tannat, Lodi 750ml 4-Pack

Ripe plum, Worcester and a hint of porkskin in the nose.  Ripe fruit nose turns to bright fruit flavors.  Not as tannic as previous vintages but still firm. Tannat offers the highest amount of antioxidants of all the vinifera, so drink up.

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 Alta Mesa, one of the few vineyards in California growing this intriguing grape.
