Lovely dark purple color with deep violet undertones. Very fruity on the nose with subtle hints of eucalyptus. Great volume in the mouth, very structured with intense, ripe tannins and a long, well balanced finish.

REVIEWS
2007 don Rodolfo Tannat
••• Silver Medal.
Los Angeles International Wine Competition, July 2008
2004 don Rodolfo Tannat
••• Tannat is a rare French varietal that is assumed to have gotten its name from the heavy tannins in the wine, and thrives in South America. It’s amazing that Don Rodolfo’s young vines (six years old) produce such a full-bodied rich wine. At 6,000 feet above sea level, Don Rodolfo boasts being one of the highest altitude wineries in the world. This deep purple wine has heavy bright cherry and plum tones with a slight hint of honey and oak. The wine is dry and heavy with bright fruit that leads to a long acidic smokey finish. Try pairing this wine with beef curry and long grained rice.
