The 2020 Reserve Tannat features aromas of clove, cardamon, black tea and dark fruits. The entry is juicy and textured, driven by flavors of blackberry, black currant, and a mix of baking spices. The integrated midpalate and finish bring structure, tannin, and length making an age-worthy wine for your cellar.
Pair with Korean BBQ, dry-rubbed meats, reduction sauces, and ribs.
Enjoy now through 2050.
