Great Old World Grapes growing in California. It has been our delight to pass such Grapes' discoveries on to more than a few of our customers. Does the phrase "St. Amant Tempranillo from the Lodi, California" ring a bell? Finding an old world wine from California as delicious and well-priced as St Amant Temp is no mean feat. But here we go again! COSENTINO'S 2007 TANNAT is a Deep, Ripe , Concentrated Wine that simply BLEW US AWAY! This wine shows that Spectator's 'Vintage of the Decade' label for 2007 Cali applies to more than Napa. The "Black Wine" migrated from Cahors, France to find a home in Uruguay today but Lodi's fruit in this vintage puts it miles ahead of any other Tannat from anywhere. Add in the Grapes price of $22.99 and you'll be moving Cosentino Tannat 2007 into very heady company indeed. Zinfandel and Shiraz lovers take note, you will love Tannat and with Summer barbecues at hand, 2007 Cosentino Tannat is perfect with brats, ribs and burgers off the grill.

Tasting Notes: Deep, concentrated color heralds aromas of licorice, minerals and nuances of earth. A masterful structure supports flavors of ripe plum, black cherry and tobacco followed by a generous finish of fine-grained tannins.Its smoky character makes it a perfect match for roasted meats and game and barbecue, as well as sausages and strong aged cheeses.
