El Capricho Winery, Tannat, 2020
El Capricho’s 2020 Tannat comes from Uruguay’s northwestern wine country, where warm days and cool nights help tame this naturally bold, tannic grape. The result is a wine that’s dense but balanced, with notes of black plum, blackberry, tobacco, and a hint of spice, backed by firm but polished tannins.
It’s aged in oak (likely a mix of new and neutral), adding depth without overpowering the fruit. The finish is dry and savory, making it an ideal match for grilled meats, sausages, or smoky vegetables.
If you’re looking for a full-bodied red with character and structure, this is a smart and slightly off-the-beaten-path option—classic Tannat with a modern touch.
