Tant Pis! 1995
Red Wine from Arroyo Grande
made by Elaine & Manfred Krankl and Lorraine & John Alban
•This wine is one of several "Project Wines" made by Manfred before the winery was founded.
•This wine was sold only in 2-magnum sets. Only 72 sets were sold.
•The back label says that this wine was made in tribute to the great
Jacques Reynaud
1924–1997
– may your wonderfully
unique and loveably
wild spirit live on forever
•The photo on the label of Jacques Reynaud was taken by Manfred Krankl.
•Jacques Reynaud was the owner and manager of Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape from 1978 until his death in 1997.
•According to Manfred Krankl this was a “single barrel cuvée comprised of approximately 60% Grenache from Alban and 40% Syrah from us....if memory serves right.”
Note that each bottle of the Tant Pis is numbered as a series of 148 bottles with the number in the lower left corner of the front label.
•Since it was a single barrel, the total number of magnums made should be less than 150. — 11 years ago
Mmmmm, has that eucalyptus Rayas signature, and tannins. Closer to a red than white. Awesome!! — 12 years ago
Drank with Benoit in Chateaunuf du Pape as well as at dinner in Avingion. Complex, light, fruity. An all time fave. Emmanuel Reynaud — 9 years ago
Mixed herbs, fennel, wild berry, Maraschino cherry. Drinking spot-on. Bright and fresh Thank you Reynaud Chastignol! #brilliantwine #cotescatalanes — 10 years ago
Fragrant with classy red dominant fruit, smoky, rich garden soil and scorched earth with black olive, sweet spice and light black pepper. Less exciting in the mouth though there is decent balance and full, firm red fruited tannin and a chalky mineral finish. — 11 years ago

Pour finir l horizontale 2012 , débouché un peu tard , tannique au début , le vin évolue avec un profil très sudiste , je m attendais a plus fin , mais bon derrière chambole et cdr de Reynaud , c est dur d être élégant — 9 years ago
