2017 Tooth & Nail Wines 'The Stand', Paso Robles, USA (750ml)

Product Info

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Ripe black fruit, figs, and boysenberry jam lift from the glass while intoxicating oak aromas of coffee, caramel and coco powder add to the complexity of this full bodied lush wine. The palate finishes with sweet lingering tannins which rounds out this truly hedonistic wine.

Blend: 85% Petite Sirah, 14% Syrah, 1% Viognier

TASTING NOTES:

A Petite Sirah-dominated blend, the 2017 Tooth & Nail The Stand offers a fruit-forward, supple, beautifully balanced style with lots of dark fruits, tobacco, peppery and floral notes, full-bodied richness, a great texture, and a clean finish. It's a terrific value and should drink brilliantly for 4-6 years.

Roasted black-plum, smoked meat, cola-spice and charcoal aromas show on the nose of this bottling, which also includes 14% Syrah and 1% Viognier. Dried meat and raw lamb flavors make for a gamy palate, where strong acidity flushes in blackberry-juice flavors as well.
