Tannat Reserve – 2016; Slate Mill Wine Collective; Fredericksburg, Texas

This Tannat was the first 1851 Vineyard estate grown release. Located in the Fredericksburg AVA of the Texas Hill Country, this local fruit is quite big and bold.  Aromas of nutmeg will envelop your initial senses as you gaze into this deep opaque red wine. Flavors of black cherry will dance around your palate followed by some moderate tobacco. This initial Tannat from the local vineyard has good depth, medium tannins, and just the right balance of acids to cut through a good meaty dish.  We highly recommend this wine for food pairing. Cheers!
