The Cambiata Tannat has a rich fragrance of violets and brush, like Santa Ana winds over a field of sage. The tannins immediately fill your mouth (and for the uninitiated this might cause a moment of concern) but you'll see they are knitted and structured and form the matrix that begins to fill with a thick, surging wave of viscous blackberry and licorice fruit. Take another sip alongside a savory roast and you'll see how the aggressive components in Tannat work to release and accentuate the rich flavors of your meal. Break out your aged beef, ripest cheese and a contemplative state of mind; the wine's intensely concentrated flavors, quintessentially indigo red profile and forthright but balanced tannins will reward all three.
