Garzón Pinot Noir Single Vineyard 2015

Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayYou feel the direction of Antonini here. By that, we mean you don't feel it. This pinot noir is an excellent example of what he means when he says less is more. It is fermented in concrete before spending 12-18 months in French oak barrels and casks. Smoked branch, prune, dark cherry, and blackberry mark the nose of this ripe Next World pinot noir. Potent and full but with an elegance that tempers the tobacco, ash, blackcurrant, black cherry, and mineral flavours. Crunchy acidity, grippy tannins and scented florals are tightening the finish—a full-bodied pinot noir with a bright minerality that speaks to the granite soils.Tasted: 05 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
