Country: US / Estate
Variety: Tannat Oregon
Winery: Troon / Applegate Valley
Tannat is a rarity anywhere in the USA, but especially in Oregon. Yet it does well at this southern location, producing a full-bodied and forward wine with a potent flavor mix of black fruit and leather, cedar and espresso. The highlights of smoke and charred wood are unrestrained, yet work well with the ample fruit packed into the core. This wine begs for a charcoal-grilled steak.
