Ah...Tannat! When it is a well-made single
varietal, it can give a much-needed enrichment to body and soul. Made under the original 1851 brand name, this
first released wine’s Tannat grapes were sourced from Firefall Vineyards of the
Sierra Foothills AVA. Opaque in color, it does entice you to find out what
flavors are in there to unravel. The
richness of cherry and tobacco plus the bold berry flavors combine for a
marvelous mouthful of am intense wine. The tannins are still strong with a
super long and very pleasing finish. You will at least feel 5-10 years younger
after the first glass. It is always a treat to go back and try out a first
vintage release from a winery. This is for sure a perfect pairing with a
high-quality aged steak. One glass is not enough to satisfy, and you will want
to finish this bottle once opened, because it is just that good. So invite a
good friend or loved one over and enjoy well and savor every drop!
