Establecimiento Juanico 2006 Don Pascual Roble Tannat (Juanico)

Online Exclusive

This wine from 100% Tannat, Uruguay’s flagship grape variety, offers up an intriguing bouquet of salumeria. It’s honest and giving, with convincing flavors of roasted meat and blackberries set against a backdrop of vanilla. Clean and modern in style. Very promising. — W.E. (6/1/2010)

Establecimiento Juanico 2005 Don Pascual Reserve Viognier (Juanico)

Online Exclusive

Price $15

Weighty and rich, but the melon core to this Uruguayan Viognier is solid. The palate pumps round apple with walnut shadings, and the finish goes to melon, papaya and banana. It's already aging and won't last for long; get it while it's still good. — M.S. (6/8/2010)

Establecimiento Juanico 2002 Preludio Barrel Select Lote Number 60 Red (Juanico)

Online Exclusive

Price $50

This blend of several grapes led by Tannat is a touch gritty and stewed. Yes, it has its qualities such as jammy berry and a nice, fleshy feel. But it's wayward and jumpy, and overall balance is elusive. Very expenisve for what you get. — M.S. (6/8/2010)

Establecimiento Juanico 2007 Don Pascual Tannat-Merlot (Juanico)

Online Exclusive

This blend of 50% Tannat and 50% Merlot is appealing in a rustic sense, with forest floor and woodsy scents layered over strawberry and plum fruit. Tannins are grippy and dense. Better after 2010. — W.E. (6/1/2010)

Establecimiento Juanico 2004 Preludio Barrel Select Lote N° 77 Red (Juanico)

Online Exclusive

Here Tannat is paired with Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, etc.) to produce an exotic blend that shows undeniable concentration and length. Unfortunately, there’s also a slight funkiness and a note of sawdust that sits on top of the wine, dampening the fruit. — W.E. (6/1/2010)
