Tannat – 2017; Fly Gap Winery; Fly Gap, Texas

Winemaker Brock Estes has made some wicked and bold Tannat wine with this 2017 vintage. Having some great quality fruit sourced from Reddy Vineyards certainly helped get this deep red wine off to a good start.  After pouring the first glass of this nearly opaque red wine, you immediately smell the blueberry aromas in addition to a bit of pepper. Those bold fruit flavors readily greet you on the first sip along with a melding of chalk and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are at just the right level to allow this lovely wine to pair nicely with a quality fatty dish. Awesome job on this one. Enjoy!
