Winemaker Steve Ledson has been on a huge roll the past few vintages and the 2016 Tiamo, a red Bordeaux-style blend, is more of the same. A cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Tiamo hits all the right notes within this genre. Rich and dense, with supple tannins, the 2016 Tiamo shows aromas of cassis, cherry and blackberry, dollop of wood spice and a subtle note of graphite. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
