A rustic grape native to Southwest France, Tannat has found a home in South America, when the sunny climate seems to tame the fierce tannins for which the grape is infamous. That said, the Bodega Garzon is still a meaty, muscular red that calls for strong flavors at the dinner table. Red meat and gamey dishes will do nicely.
