Reviews

Amazing effort from this region. A curious blend of 56% cab franc, 20% merlot, 18% tannat and 6% cab sauvignon. This winemaker knows his way around blending for sure. Nose shows some restrained fruit and doesn't hint to what's to come on the mouth, vanilla and chocolate give it a very receptive but shy first impression. Once in your mouth it shows amazing balance with an incredible structure, silky mouthfeel, very fine and sweet tannins and an everlasting finish. Kudos to Uruguai for this effort. [93]
