Bodega Garzon's flagship Balasto ($149) wasn't produced in 2019, but the incredible fruit destined for it found a new home in this exceptional Single Vineyard Tannat.
This means you get Balasto-quality wine at a fraction of the price!
In a blind tasting, it held its own against much pricier Balasto vintages. This is an incredible opportunity to experience top-tier wine without the price tag.
"Balasto is one of three South American wines sold via Le Place de Bordeaux négociants, which is considered a luxury in the established wine trade."
Indulge in its rich black cherry, blueberry, and spice aromas, finishing with velvety tannins and a polished finish that only a world-class wine can achieve.
The Perfect Pairing: Spice-Crusted Rack of Lamb.
This bold Tannat elevates the spice-crusted rack of lamb, with its rich black cherry and blueberry notes complementing the meat's savory flavors and warm spices. The wine's firm tannins soften the lamb's intensity, creating a seamless balance.
