Tannat is a favorite variety of winemaker Anna Marie Dos Remedios, who has sourced it from Heringer for several years now. The familiarity shows, with a gentle coaxing of full expression evident. Bright blackberry and spiced plum flood the nose and the mouth, with notes of cedar chest and vanilla adding interest. Delicious! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition.
