Garzón Tannat-Merlot Estate 2015

89POINTS

16^¼/20

Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayTannat is splashed with twenty percent merlot in this estate wine, which has spent three to six months on lees in stainless steel. Antonini plays the plummy, plush chocolate merlot against tannat's dusty, fine, graphite tannin structure. As expected at this young age, the wine veers to drying on the finish, though nothing that a wedge of grilled meats wouldn't counter easily. There is lovely freshness throughout, with violets trailing.Tasted: 05 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
