PRODUCER NOTES: This is our top wine, made in smaller quantity to reflect the best quality grapes we grow especially for this wine, including the grapes from a unique clone of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in a only 0.25 ha parcel. The name Tâm is Vietnamese for passion, indeed the passion that moves us the producers in our search of that elusive balance between elegance and power for our wines. The label design is taken from the Chinese calligraphy which also means heart, passion. Its harmony and finesse make the wine delicious, tempting us to drink it now, -much too soon, some would say. But life is made of pleasures, and it’s up to each of us to define what they are and how to enjoy them.

Selected Critic ratings:
- ROBERT PARKER:  91/100  TAM 2008

- WINE ENTHUSIAST : 93/100 “This 2007 Tam is a block buster blend that impresses on all levels. The aromatic intensity is outstanding, with deep levels of cherry, chocolate, tobacco and exotic spices. What impresses the most of all is the mouthfeel: rich, opulent, velvety and smooth”.
