Double 93 points and normally $20+! TANNAT -- savvy somms and drinkers are discovering the incredible quality and value to be had - your turn!
SINGULAR Grape, UNIQUE location and DOUBLE 93 POINTS from Decanter and Tim Atkin! Uruguay has established itself as a world-class wine region and their big STAR is Tannat. Bodega Garzon is on a meteoric rise to international stardom, first receiving “New World Winery of The Year'' in 2018 from Wine Enthusiast, and then “Winery of the Year” from Deschorchados Guide, led by renowned Chilean wine critic Patricio Tapia in 2020. Garzon has excelled in crafting exceptionally delicious Tannat that is velvety in texture with lovely dark fruit qualities.
The location is one of the most beautiful places on earth, just miles from the spectacular beach, Punta del Este, with a Francis Mallmann (Google this guy!) restaurant on site, PLUS the world-renowned Alberto Antonini is in charge of winemaking. Alberto has made some of the most legendary wines of Italy and has been called one of the "Top 10 Influential Wine Consultants" by Drinks Business Magazine, and also one of the "Top Winemakers of the World" by Decanter Magazine in 2015. In short, no expenses have been spared and it shows in these incredible wines.
When you consider all of that, $84 a six pack DELIVERED seems like an awfully good deal, right? Do what you can to experience this beauty!
