2021 Tannat – Vintage Press Vineyard

Aromatically profound, with dried cranberry, cherry, clove, raspberry coulis, leather, white pepper-dusted violets and earth, all carrying through on the palate. Medium to full-bodied with a more pronounced, firm tannin structure than the 2020 and deeper layers of berry flavours. The wine has real staying power with a long finish. - Decanter Review by Jonathan Cristaldi (95 points)
