Garzon Tannat Single Vineyard 2018

Extremely perfumed with violet and blueberry aromas that follow through to a full body with creamy, refined tannins. Wonderful depth, due to the compact fruit and vertical line of tannins. Black pepper to the dark fruit. Better in two or three years. Try after 2022.

This is a ripe version of Tannat, with earth and blackberry aromas leading the charge. Toasty dark-fruit flavors benefit from integrated oak, while this tastes peppery on the finish. The palate shows a lot of grips, so it’s best to serve this with meat. Drink through 2025.

Decanter 92 Points

Aromatic, smoky with lots of spice, leather, and some tobacco. Solid, peppery, delicious, and serious. Polished tannins with a lovely texture.

A supple, Atlantic red, this is a generous take on Tannat with its bright flavors of cranberries and thyme. The tannins have the succulence of ripe plum skins, with a dark rose scent that lasts. Delicious with thick-cut lamb chops off the grill.
