Jeff Runquist is picking up where he left off last year, dazzling with his artistry at a major international wine competition. This 2017 Runquist Tannat is a beauty, with impressive density without the aggressive tannins that are common to this grape variety. Rich and full-bodied, showing intense aromas of black cherry and wood spice, with a touch of graphite adding complexity to the nose. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
