Description
Women-owned and operated, Tansy Wines was founded in 2020 by three friends who share an appreciation of Italian wine and a love for all that California has to offer. Shelley Lingren of A16 restaurant in San Francisco, winemaker Megan Glaab of Ryme Cellars and branding maven Kitty Oestlien. The name, Tansy, originates from the tansy wildflower that grows in and around the vineyards in both California and Italy. The Tansy Red Wine Field Blend is inspired by the tradition of vino da tavola (table wine) from Italy. These wines, often a combination of local varietals, are delicious, approachable, and food friendly.
The 2022 blend is composed of 86% Malbec, 5% Grenache, 5% Zinfandel and 4% Ruche from vineyards throughout top Californian appellations that practice organic and sustainable farming. Megan is a master at minimal intervention winemaking and honoring terroir; therefore, her wines are natively fermented with no temperature control or additives. The results are simply delicious! Offering inviting aromas of dark red and black fruit. The mouthwatering palate shows flavors of blackberry, blueberry and red plum, with a hint of violet and notes of cocoa. Nicely weighted, but with a bright, fruity lift, this easy drinking red shows smoothly structured tannins through the delicately textured finish.
