2020 Bodega Garzon 'Single Vineyard' Tannat Uruguay
Cloaked in deep purple, this Tannat from Bodega Garzón reveals an elegant nose of red cherries, strawberries, black plums, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Juicy and fresh on the palate, it boasts a full body and lingering finish. Nestled near Punta del Este, the estate’s unique microclimates and rocky soils craft rich, expressive wines.
Blessed with pristine views of the Atlantic, an unspoiled ecosystem, and dusty, charismatic back streets, the Punta del Este zone of Uruguay is very quickly becoming a new Côte d’Azur for discerning travelers of means. Nearby, wine entrepreneur Alejandro Bulgheroni established Bodega Garzón, a sustainable, earth-friendly wine estate, restaurant, and private club. Wind and solar power provide 40% of the property’s energy needs, and world-renowned chef Francis Mallman is the Ambassador and Culinary Director for the estate. Quite simply, no expense has been spared to make this winery a showpiece of the southern hemisphere. Blessed with fast-draining granite sands called “balasto,” these rolling hills are heaven for wine grapes, especially Tannat. We were also thrilled to discover some delightful reds like Petit Verdot and Marselan, as well as award-winning Albariño that is some of the best made outside of Spain. We invite you to experience just how sumptuous and luxurious Uruguayan wine can be!
Wine Enthusiast
Full-bodied, this red offers cherry and herbaceous aromas. The palate is flavorful, offering concentrated plum, cherry and hints of rosemary. It has good acidity and gripping tannins.
James Suckling
A rich, deep and intriguing nose, showing fresh blackberries, wet stones, graphite, iodine and blue flowers. A full-bodied tannat with dense but polished tannins. Tight, but caressing. Drink or hold.
