<H1>2004 Peloton Red Wine -- Tandem Winery Shopping Cart</H1> $25.00 -- Limited <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/tandem/images/04PelRed%20label.JPG" ALIGN=right ALT="2004 Peloton Red Wine" NAME="2004 Peloton Red Wine" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> This is our no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-metal, guns-blazing, full boogie tilt expression of what we would like to be not a varietal or regional expression, but the “winner of the first empty glass” contest! When you taste this wine, think not of a particular grape or appellation, think instead of how wine can love your mouth, how front-to-back pull through can be achieved with just a little bit of blending. When we create our single-vineyard designates, we look for the pure voice of the vineyard to speak its piece. The dips and the valleys can only add to the peak, the high notes of the vineyard. For a blend, we put under the microscope every pothole and dip in the road, and work to create a wine that, from first sip to last lingering aftertaste, provides pleasure and satisfaction, all wrapped up in one big Peloton! Tasting notes: Dark berries and hints of cassis greet one with the first aromas from the glass. Further study reveals cedar box and fresh tobacco leaf, leaving one with an aromatic impression of depth and complexity. This impression continues on the palate with the same themes as were seen in the aromas: dark fruits, cassis, forest floor and cedar box couched in a rich structural frame of balanced acid and tannins. Late palate fade is long and seamless, leaving a lasting impression of ripe black cherry and echoes again of cassis.
