Can smell the oak. Dry with hints of cherry. Strong goes down smooth, the taste lingers. — 7 years ago

Bodega Garzon

Varietales Albariño 2015

The wine offers a light, golden hue and the aromas we want with the Albarino grape. The honeysuckle is right up front, followed closely by pineapple and tangerine. An earthy note shows on the palate, a minerality that goes far beyond citrus zest. There’s a bright acidity that will support a Cobb salad or chicken breast just as well as it does a handful of walnuts. — 8 years ago

Premium Varietal Tannat 2013

My first Uruguay wine and I really enjoy this. A little musty on the nose and light, airy, and balanced on palate. Consistent and balance finish. Great value for a $15 wine. — 8 years ago

Undicicomuni Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

And under performing Barolo. Sharp, tannic and really didn’t have the fruit to balance it. Maybe just a one off bottle. — 5 years ago

Bodegas Carrau Tannat de Reserva 2013

A bit tough to get the aromas with all the bbq smoke in the air, but dark fruit and plummy. Richness on the pallet and tannins dance with spice. Smooth body and leaves pallet chalky like a cab. Nice Uruguayan wine! — 8 years ago

Bodega Bouza

Monte Vide Eu Tannat Blend 2012

Wonderful balance. Merlot and Tempranillo counterweight the heavy Tanat. Still, a meaty wine for read meats. Velvety and round tho. Some blackberries and forest fruits - little tanine. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Epifanio Rivera

Tradicion Familia Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2011

Velvety smooth, huge balanced tannins and fruit forward. — 8 years ago

Artesana

Artesana Tannat Merlot Blend 2013

Great red from Uruguay. Big black fruit aromas. Full and ripe fruit flavors of blackberries and plums. Big note of juniper berries. Hints of herbs and just the right amount of oak. Rich and velvety texture. Did not have the big tannin structure I was expecting. Blending in 30% Merlot is a great move. Really softened the big Tennat tannin reputation. Outstanding vino! — 6 years ago

Riserva Il Falcone Castel del Monte Rosso 2009

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 8 years ago

2012 Uruguay Marichal Chard/Pinot Noir. Salmon skin color w glints of copper & gold--sexy. Nose is plump full of fresh cut apricot, basil-y strwbry & husked almond skin. Fresh cherry, bits of vanilla & tangerine skin lift the palate delightfully, yum! — 9 years ago
