Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

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!!
