“There’s something so inviting about this wine. It’s the epitome of a chillable red”

I have to admit it. I’m a sucker for labels. When I see something beautifully designed, my curiosity is piqued. When that curiosity is rewarded by a wine that’s vibrant and interesting, it’s the best of all possible circumstances!

My friend Ezra just started an importation and distribution company called Kily Import and I’m super excited for him. We share a lot of opinions about wine: that it’s often best when made as naturally as possible, and coaxed carefully into existence by a steady hand in the winery and vineyard. When Ezra showed me this wine and I tasted it, I knew I had to share it with you too.

Tannat is a strange grape. It’s made in both Southwestern France and Uruguay, where it often makes wines that are at turns either massive and brooding, or big and fruity. Oftentimes it’s so tannic, it’s borderline unpleasantly bitter. This wine is totally special and different.

When I tasted this ruby-colored, medium-bodied wine from Day Wines, I was hooked. There’s something so inviting about this wine. It’s the epitome of a chillable red: throw this into the fridge for an hour and enjoy the crisp nature of this wine’s red raspberry-pomegranate notes, soft tannins, and black tea aromatics.
