2021 Tannat

Tannat wines are crafted with collectors of wine in mind.  They are deeply colored with hues of dark purple.  Tannins and firm acidity are no strangers to Tannat wines which makes for very long lived wines.  The 2021 version does not disappoint as it delivers excellent medium – plus to full body.  Flavors and aromas of sweet vanilla bean – coffee bean barrel notes plus generous notes of ripe raspberries, black pepper and black currants, lapin sweet cherries complete the flavor and aroma profile.  Though one must, we repeat must be patient with Tannat wines, this 2021 is an excellent food wine.  A recommended food pairing would be with the ultimate comfort food known as cassoulet or pan – seared duck breast.  A generous – well marbled beef steak grilled to perfection would be another great choice.
