2022 Tannat – Vintage Press Vineyard

Crunchy red berries lead the aroma, which is laced by subtleties of anise, black tea, and earth. The classic minerality that we've seen from Vintage Press Vineyard peaks through. On the palate the fruit is so pure and focused that the tannins already feel harmonious. Full-bodied.

AVA: Texas Hill Country

In 2016 Doug Wilcox planted 12 acres of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Tannat, just a stones' throw from Hye in Stonewall, Texas. The close proximity to William Chris Vineyards allows for our teams to work together to help the fruit showcase what is special about this particular site, home to the clay loam soil over limestone that runs through the old Pedernales River Basin.
