Tannat – 2015; Ab Astris Winery; Stonewall, Texas

This is a rock solid Tannat for your enjoyment! The deep purple color is enticing just to gaze at, but those blueberry aromas from this Texas High Plains sourced fruit are a simple pleasure at its best. If you let this one sit for a good hour or so, then patience will reward you. The rich dark fruit and cherry flavors really unfold and develop. The acids balance out nicely and there is just a touch of spiciness to this beauty. With medium tannins and a nice long velvety finish, life is getting darned good at this point. Although drinking well right now, there is still much to reveal by holding on to this one for a few more years and trying again later.  Cheers!
