Yowzza! the Bouza is back. Deep and dark with generous plum and cherry liquor fruit. Hints of bittersweet chocolate and coffee lace the nose while a rip of tannin completes the package. A favorite!

Massive red wine with tons of fruit & minerality all balanced with natural acidity plus a finish that goes & goes. Hard to imagine a better steak wine. Don't fear the Tannat.

I think I agree it's not what else so much as who else. Speaking of malbec, ... fortified wines from Uruguay and I kind of like those because they also add spices and herbs and flavorings. But I suppose if you want...
Grape variety a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and grenache. This wine had been oak aged for 3 months. Deep red colour. A nose of red berries,mint and eucalyptus.Very unusual intense with a long finish.

Uruguay grows more Tannat than anywhere else. The Tannat grape contains more oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs) than any other grape variety.
Recent research, led by Dr. Roger Corder (a cardiovascular expert at the William Harvey Research Institute in London) makes the case for oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs) as the source of red wine's health benefits. All red grapes, particularly those with thick skins and high skin-to-pulp ratios, contain OPC's. But, after measuring the OPC concentration of several common red wine grapes, Dr. Corder identifies Tannat as the grape with the greatest concentration. The real-life evidence of Tannat's benefits can be seen in the surprisingly long lifespans of residents of the département of Gers in southwest France, whose local wine principal grape is Tannat.
In fact this wine is very good for you.

I just came back from a trip to South America and tasted the Tannat grape for the first time while in Uruguay at a little family owned winery called Bodega Bouza. It was extremely tasty. Aroma contained hints of sweet fruits. I cannot find a place in Canada that imports this wine. Anyone know anywhere in North America to buy Uruguian wine?
