The 2006 Angel's Cuvee Ripasso was made from 100% Tannat using the Ripasso method of Italy's Veneto. It was aged for 18 months in French oak resulting in a deep purple-colored wine with a lightly roasted, charred barrel perfume accompanied by liqueur-like black fruits. Rich, ripe, intense, and lengthy, it is a unique offering that will stump everyone if inserted in a blind tasting.Importer: T. Edward Wines, New York, NY; www.tedwardwines.com
