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! — 7 years ago

I'm sold on Location's wine. This blend isn't super dry (my preference) but it's not sweet either (no thanks). Will be buying more from them. — 9 years ago

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. — 9 years ago
Unless you run a wine program at a South American restaurant, most somms grow tired of the request for Malbec. Friends - there are fine examples on the market, and this is one. Light on it's feet, expressive, and interesting. Close your eyes, and think of Bourgueil — 10 years ago

Rustic without funk. Pure cab franc flavors with lots of licorice. — 7 years ago
Dark ruby in color with a purple rim.
Very strong fruity nose with black currants, blackberries, figs, raisins, vanilla, sweet raspberries, smoke, chocolates, mocha, earth, wood, licorice, vinegrete and black pepper.
Full bodied, jammy and rich, with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, strawberries, ripe cranberries, earth, vanilla, licorice, oak, peppercorn and spices.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
A great blend from the house of Michael David. Soft and well balanced, with nice complexity, and a tangy mouth watering finish. Enjoyable by itself, good right out of the bottle, and a little better after an hour.
This 4 year old is drinking very nicely now and will be good in the next few years. I kept it for a couple of years in my cellar, to see if there are any changes, but I don't see a reason for that. Great vintage as it is.
A good sipping wine that will also work well with grilled meats.
A blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvedre and Grenache.

Why are you rating Tannat without FOOD?!
Would you do the same with Barolo? — 10 years ago

A rosé I would drink again and again. It really is as soft, supple and smooth as a baby’s bottom. Like raspberry sun kisses. — 7 years ago
Patience is rewarded. This beast has mellowed into a dark fruit, espresso and earthy juice that’s a pleasure to drink. Just enough acidity. Tannins have grip and elevate this baby into something big and worth drinking. Those Beaucastel descendants know what they’re doing! — 7 years ago
Was actually Malbec only.

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. — 9 years ago
Live this. Simple but flavourful. Very dry but balanced so that there's a smoothness overall. Mulberry. — 10 years ago

Peppery, acid, lighter on the fruit. This would pair really well with chili or a similar dish — 7 years ago
