2018 Tannat – Timmons Estate Vineyard

Tannat is dark, powerful, and tannic grape from south west France. It thrives in the sunshine, and can produce standout wines. Densely packed with blackberry and blueberry, tomato leaf, a hint of sun dried tomato. Very savory, this would do well with meat and potatoes on the menu.

Fermentation took 7 days in French oak foudreIt was aged 18 months in 50% neutral and 50% new French oak barrels

Tannat does great with roasted meats and stews, and requires bolder dishes to stand up to the strength of its structure and flavor profile.
