What to Expect
This SIMI Tannat from California offers a rich, dark flavor profile with firm tannins and deep color. Drawing inspiration from its classic home in Madiran, this wine combines elements of robust structure with modern winemaking techniques that result in a balanced and approachable dessert or cooking wine. With notes of blackberry, black plum, and licorice, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, aged cheeses, and hearty stews.
