Ty Caton Vineyards Estate "TyTanium" Red Blend 2017
This sophisticated wine opens with alluring aromas of wild black cherry, anise, and cocoa. Deep indigo tones lead to a soft, silky generous mouth feel accompanied by flavors of dark fruit and toasted oak. Layered, complex flavors remain lingering on the palate with an exceptionally long finish. Perfect for any occasion, this wine pairs beautifully with filet mignon or portobello mushrooms.
“TyTanium", a play on my name, was inspired by my desire to make a wine of distinction that no one else could duplicate. This estate proprietary blend is always comprised of the best grapes I grow and is crafted to create a memorable wine of uncommon character. TyTanium’s inaugural vintage 2003, quickly stood out as my “flagship” wine garnering awards in wine publications and competitions. It’s been awarded “Best of Class” several times in the largest competition of American wines in the world. The 2008 vintage was honored as one of the top five wines of the year in The 27th Annual Quarterly Review of Wines “Best of the Best” Blind Tasting.” – Ty Caton
