This is a powerful wine, rich and dense. Aged for one year in wood, it is a complex blend of 70% Tannat with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Fer Servadou. Its richness with layers of black fruits, acidity and spice from the wood aging are just now coming together and the wine is ready to drink. Roger Voss

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
