Bouza 2004 Special Barrel Tannat

Editors' Choice

Price $50

They call it Special Barrel, and one sniff tells you that this is a Tannat raised in pricey French oak barrels. And that’s not a criticism; the wine is toasty, with alluring charcoal and smoke aromas. The palate is up to it as well, as it exhibits bright, elevated dark-fruit flavors. Nicely balanced for the most part, with plenty of cassis, berry and plum character. — M.S. (11/1/2006)

Bouza 2004 Tannat-Merlot Red (Canelones)

Price $24

Bouza is one of the few Uruguayan wineries that’s ready to compete on the world stage. This Tannat-Merlot blend is deep and dark, with saturated blackberry and dark plum flavors. It’s a bit heavy and clumsy, with some chocolate on the finish. But overall it’s a well-made New World red that will accompany steak and other grilled meats. — M.S. (11/1/2006)
