Tannat

2008 Paso Robles Tannat

The Clayhouse Estate Tannat from the esteemed Paso Robles region is a remarkable offering that embodies the characteristic richness of this bold varietal. Its deep red color captivates the eye, hinting at the intense flavors that await. This full-bodied wine showcases a pronounced acidity that balances the rugged tannins, creating a structured mouthfeel that is both powerful and inviting. With prominent fruit intensity, expect an explosion of dark berry flavors, complemented by notes of spice and subtle earthiness. The wine is beautifully dry, making it a versatile choice for pairing with hearty dishes or simply enjoying on its own. This exceptional 2008 vintage is a true testament to the craftsmanship of winemaking in this dynamic region.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
