2010 Virginia Tannat

Narmada Winery's 2010 Tannat from Virginia is a remarkable expression of this lesser-known varietal, showcasing its deep, ruby-red color that hints at the richness within. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience, delivering a robust complexity that is both captivating and satisfying. The acidity level is bright and lively, providing a refreshing counterbalance to the wine's lush fruit intensity, which bursts forth with prominent notes of dark berries and hints of plum. The tannins are notable and structured, contributing to the wine's impressive depth and potential for aging. This well-crafted Tannat is a dry wine, offering a clean finish that invites another sip, making it an excellent pairing for hearty dishes or a solo indulgence.

Region:

Virginia

Virginia, with its rich historical heritage and varied landscapes, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions on the East Coast. Spanning from the Atlantic coastline to the Appalachian Mountains, Virginia's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) encompass a wide array of terroirs. The cool breezes from the Atlantic and the higher elevations of the mountains play a major role in moderating Virginia's vineyards, providing a balanced climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the coastal and mountainous regions, producing elegant and nuanced wines, while further inland, the warmer valleys support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This range of conditions allows Virginia to produce a wide variety of wine styles, reflective of its unique and diverse growing regions.
