2006 Wine South and Reserve Tasting

[dananne]

The state [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] Tiger Mountain Vineyards is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and they've made it for several years. I hadn't tasted one since their '00, however. It's interesting that it seems pretty well suited to the microclimate up there, and the end product is not as tight as ones from SW France -- more approachable early. However, it lacks the depth one would usually associate with Tannat. Incidentally, they're also growing Cab Franc, Viognier, Touriga National, Tinta Cao, Malbec, Mourvedre, and Norton, among others.
