Description
The name Yantra (yawn-tra) is Sanskrit for “instrument” or “machine.” A Yantra is mandala – a map, chart or geometric pattern which is often used to reference geometrical drawings used in the Indian mystical tradition. What makes Yantra unique is its careful blending of two iconic varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, in the heart of Tuscany, combined with sustainable, organic farming practices that honor the land. The result is a wine that speaks to the terroir’s depth and character while offering an approachable, yet sophisticated drinking experience.
Yantra is characterized by a persistent fruitiness and pleasant freshness; it is interesting for its complex simplicity. The wine displays soft, ripe tannins, a rich mouthfeel and a long finish.
