Abacela 2013 Barrel Select Tannat (Umpqua Valley)

Country: US / Barrel Select
Variety: Tannat Oregon
Winery: Abacela / Umpqua Valley

A grape known for its rough and tumble tannins lives up to that reputation here. Cassis and espresso flavors dominate, with heavy toast and chalky tannins. This really needs food to come into focus—preferably your biggest, fattest, juiciest roast or prime rib.
