2021 TANNAT

  A less well-known French varietal in Texas until Bending Branch started growing and producing it around 2008.  This wine spent 30 months in neutral oak and makes this a smooth wine which has lots of stone fruit with pallet cleansing tannins, minerality, and a long earthy finish.  It is closer to a Primitivo or Zin to me than anything else. Think mushroom risotto with grilled chicken.  You can thank me later.
