Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Vintage:2015 Pedesclaux seems to have arrived

Pedesclaux seems to have arrived at its unique personality in this great vintage

While Chateauneuf du Pape is a warm appellation

roses and Indian spice forming its bouquet

and fermentation is in foudres and barrels

Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Vintage:2015 Pedesclaux seems to have arrivedThe 2015 Tassinaia is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, now with an element of Syrah. The wine is fermented partly in steel and partly in oak and brings a breeze of spice from the get go. This second level red from Castello del Terriccio offers plenty of rich, exuberant and succulent fruit. I imagine it will open nicely over the next few years. Tassinaia is a selection of fruit from different vineyard parcels.
