Jeff Runquist, Alta Mesa (Lodi, California) Tannat 2017

Jan 27, 2020

By Robert Whitley

 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.
