12 FIRES Winery and Vineyard Teroldego 2023

Relegated to duty as a minor blending component in its homeland of southern France, Tannat has found a place to really shine in Texas. Full-body, big fruit, inky purple color, and grippy tannins allow this wine to go toe-to-toe with big Cabs and Merlots. Think about rich, flavorful red meats, wild game or sausage with this one; and feed the salad to the rabbits.
