Garzón Petit Clos Pinot Noir Block 87 2020
Garzon, Maldonado, San José, UruguayThe Garzon Petit Clos tier is a set of wines chosen from meticulously cared for blocks to showcase the highest varietal expression. Garzón's oenologist and agronomist do the work and involve hand-picked clusters that are thought to tell the story of the place best. Minimal intervention winemaking, fermenting in concrete tanks, and aging in untoasted French oak are the final steps to discovering Garzón's terroir. This pinot spends 18 months aging in French oak casks and clocks in a sensible 13% alcohol. Cool Atlantic breezes cultivate a cool temperature Euro-style pinot that gives off a commanding red berry, mineral, stony nose and a deep red cherry palate sustained by an undercurrent of earth and orange rind. The texture is all Alberto Antonini, the style maestro, giving Block 47 endless food opportunities. Grilled salmon is an easy match, but the winery likes it with pork and plum sauces. Any way you serve it, this is an impressive new wine.Tasted: 12 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| CDN | $53.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
