Cruse Wine Company Alder Springs Tannat, 2017 Napa Valley Stainless steel fermentation/unoakedTannat is a strong grape with tough tannins and deep dark hues. Cruse has wrangled this beast of a grape into a deliciously balanced and striking example of elegance. 100% Tannat from the impeccably farmed Alder Springs vineyard in Mendocino County. Its a young vineyard, planted at a high elevation on a steep southern slope. The combination of elevation and distance from the coast allows the Tannat to fully ripen, softening its rough edges.
