The Social Web Wine Word of the Week – Leathery

This is a descriptor for wines that have flavors of leather, tobacco, or other aged materials. Leathery flavors are often due to the presence of tannins, which can soften and mellow over time.

The Social Web is helping small businesses untangle the web of social media marketing. For more information, please visit https://thesocialweb.news  

Wines we enjoyed this week: F. Stephen Miller Angel’s Reserve Red Angel, Elsom Cellars Syrah, Pèppoli Chianti Classico and a J. Bookwalter Readers Chardonnay.
