2020 Garzon Tannat Reserva

New and exciting - Tannat grape from Uruguay
2020 Garzon Tannat Reserva...$15.99
Product of Uruguay

This wine sets the bar for the coastal vineyards of Uruguay with its dark-skinned beauty, its fresh purple plum and lively red berry flavors over the pencil-shaving notes of the tannins. Grown in the coastal hills, in decomposed granite, this is a New-World floral essence of a French-Atlantic grape. There’s a thin, high wall of tannins to surround all the bright fruit.
Rated 93/100 Wine and Spirits Magazine
Dark cherries, fresh blackberries, dried meat, minerals and some savory spices. This is a medium-to full-bodied, tight and chewy red with nice austerity to remind you that this is a tannat. Sinewy, very tight and robust, but not drying in the finish. Drink after 2023.
Rated 91/100 James Suckling
