Garzón Single Vineyard Tannat 2020
Garzon, Maldonado, San José, UruguayBodega Garzón is only 17 kilometres inland from the Atlantic Ocean, as the crow flies, close to Uruguay's summer playgrounds at Punta del Este, La Barra, and Jose Ignacio. Designed from the ground up with more than 1000 small vineyard blocks covering its hillside slopes, the vineyards' varying microclimates, different humidity levels, and intense canopy management have spawned a wide range of unique labels, including this renowned tannat. Expect an opaque purple colour and fabulous texture, like most Garzon wines. Indeed there is a surprising amount of charm and elegance that surrounds this plummy tobacco red with juicy, soft, youthful tannins. Lamb, wild boar, or a simple T-Bone steak all work well here. Consulting winemaker Alberto Antonini works closely with Germán Bruzzone Eduardo Félix to make this wine a picture of style and elegance.Tasted: 01 June 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:CDN | $53.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
