A Single Vineyard Merlot from Bodega Garzón in Uruguay — intense ruby red with delightful aromas of plums and blueberries on the nose, smooth texture and gentle tannins on the palate, from a variety that finds an elegant and balanced expression in the Atlantic-influenced hillside terroir of the Garzón region.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red. Delightful aromas of plums and blueberries on the nose. Smooth texture and gentle tannins contribute to the wine's overall balance. A single vineyard selection from the French oak-aged Reserva range — the Garzón hillside gives the Merlot a freshness and mineral lift that keeps it from the heaviness that can afflict the variety in warmer climates.
