Tannat – 2012; Santiago Queirolo; Lima, Peru

This Intipalka line of wines is quite a pleaser for a single varietal Tannat wine. The deep garnet hue on the initial pour is quite an eye catcher! The aroma can be complex for this Ica Valley sourced grape, but you can distinguish both a little balsamic and cocoa note. The flavors of blackberries and herbs are pronounced, and the finish satisfies with balanced tannins. Yes, Tannat has found another home for itself and deserves to stand out for the quality wine grape that it is. Cheers!!
