Dear Wine Lover,

The Tantara spring releases are here. We received four single vineyards and two cuvees. These wine are lush, large but most of all lovely.
2 004 Tantara Santa Maria Pinot Noir Was $30.00 Sale $26.89
The dark plum/ruby colored 2004 Pinot Noir Santa Maria reveals up-front, forward, seductive, forest floor, plum, cherry, and fig-like notes, a sweet, savory texture, and a seductive, lush finish. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years.

2004 Tantara Adobe Bien Nacido Vyd. Santa Maria Pinot Noir
Was $45.00 Sale $39.89
The four sub-vineyards that comprise this wine have been farmed organically since their inception. What this type of viticulture does is make one more aware of the cycles, rhythms and life forces of not just the vine but the other flora and fauna that are part of the ecosystem. This study also influences the way we approach this wine, always looking for definition, depth and harmony. This rich offering would do well to be consumed with a truffled filet of beef.

2004 Tantara La Colline Vyd. Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot
Was $45.00 Sale $39.89
This wine speaks very clearly of its site. There is a purity of fruit, a lift in the perfume, delicacy yet power. The delineation of flavor as it moves across the palate, reminds us of why we were captivated by Pinot Noir in the first place. A noble pairing would be with pheasant and wild rice.

2004 Tantara Brosseau Vyd. Chalone Pinot Noir
Was $53.00 Sale $47.89
Our first Pinot from this fabled appellation put on the world map by the efforts of Chalone. The site is dramatic, located on a high rolling plateau, at the foot of a granite volcanic remnant, the West Pinnacles. This bench is an uplift of ancient marine soil and sediment, one of the few true limestone based soils in California. The vineyard produces wines of great character; ripe fruit with a framework of tannin and minerality.

2004 Tantara Pisoni Vyd. Santa Lucia Pinot Noir
Was $60.00 Sale $54.89

Bold yet refined, this very unique interpretation of Pinot Noir is part site, part clone and part viticulture. All vineyards of course have these same components. What makes this one so unusual is the seamless integration of these parts. Maybe that is why the wines have such depth, balance and flavor. This one would be happy with rare grilled steak and morels.
2004 Tantara Evelyn Santa Maria Pinot Noir Was $78.00 Sale $69.89
This wine, a blend of select barrels represents the pinnacle of each vintage, and as such, is a good marker for the quality and character of the vintage. The wine in 2004 is exceptionally aromatic. With richness of fruit supported by ripe tannins, it has density with finesse and a lingering finish. Savour with a veal chop accompanied by herbs and wild mushrooms.
