Tannat is a grape we usually associate with the black wines of Cahors in southwest France. But Uruguay is making waves with this tannic variety. Dense purple-black in colour, it has a cedary, blackberry nose with toasty oak notes. Medium- to full-bodied, it has a dry, spicy blackberry flavour buttressed with firm but ripe tannins.
