I know, I know. This is a few days late, but I did want to share what bottle we opened on Friday. I only have class Monday-Thursday this semester, and so, on Thursday night, I had a glass of another Cameron Hughes bottle. It was a Cab (Lot 282) and was pretty good, but they're not my favorite. So, on Friday evening, we decided to try something new.
We're members of a wine club here in town, and we got this one in January. The wine is Don David Tannat Reserve 2009 and is produced by Michel Torino. It's an Argentinian wine and is made from grapes of the tannat varietal. These grapes are commonly grown in southwestern France, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Australia.
- Vintage: 2009 Reserve
- Appellation: CafayateValley, Argentina
- Grape: Tannat
- Alcohol by volume: 13.9%
- Average price: $14
The wine is described by Suburban Wine & Spirits as "rich in spice and fruit with flavors of dark berry fruit, exotic spice, vanilla and chocolate." It looks a though it could be a little bit difficult to find in the US, but if you do happen to see it, it's definitely worth a try.
Hey! I tried to reply to your comment, but it wouldn't let me. The new place is YogaFest in Collierville. Look them up on Facebook!
