tasting notes
The wine is medium bodied with the classic notes of Tannat.
Cinnamon and anise, followed by hints of red cherries are also
present. It's rich, yet supple, with a lingering finish.
winemaker's insight
Allegretto is one of the few wineries in California that specializes
in Tannat. The variety originates in southwestern France and has
found a real home here in Paso Robles. The grapes are grown
at the Allegretto Resort Vineyard. After careful hand-harvesting,
the grapes are destemmed and fermented in small open-top
containers. After the fermentation is complete, the grapes are
pressed into a combination of American and French oak and aged
for nearly two years.
