title: Michael Shaps 2012 Tannat (Monticello)
description: Vibrant, dense purple in color, this is ultraconcentrated on the nose, offering kirsch, blueberry reduction and dusty-earth aromas. The palate is heavy, rich and laden with dark fruit, yet there's a balance of grainy tannins and snappy acidity to keep the weight in check.
variety: Tannat
