Salton Intenso Tannat 2012

Blog

My first encounter with a Brazilian wine (about time!) the 2012 Salton Intenso Tannat is fittingly, Brazil’s oldest operating winery, founded in 1878. Intenso is somewhat lighter-framed than expected, with bold red fruit that pops out of the glass along with welcoming aromas of earth and spice. It’s not a complex wine—it offers a soft countenance with silky tannins and a touch of gaminess on the finish. Quaffable? For the money, absolutely. A great find at #WBC15
