About the Producer
Tantalus, also called Atys, was a Greek mythological figure, most famous for his punishment in Tartarus: for either revealing many secrets of the gods, for stealing ambrosia from them, or for trying to trick them into eating his son, he was made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches, with the fruit ever eluding his grasp, and the water always receding before he could take a drink. This punishment, although the best-known today, was a more unusual detail in surviving early Greek sources, where variants including a stone suspended above his head are more commonly recorded.

Paired with the beef course at winery's chefs menu. Oak and cherry nose. Cherry, raspberry, and leather palate with long finish. Moderate tannins; could use more cellar time. Side by side with the cab Sauv dominant Ecluse of the same vintage.
