Garzón Pinot Noir Rosé Estate 2016
Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayThis is better than last year's edition, but at 14 percent alcohol, it lacks the lift and freshness we are looking for. Instead, it's a potent light pink that charms with notes of light strawberries, wild raspberries and a fresh herbal thrush. Fortunately, the sun-warmed ripeness and weighty palate are offset by a minerality stream that fights the flat finish. This spent three to six months on the lees in stainless steel.Tasted: 05 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:CDN | $24.39 | 750ml | estimated retail |
