Bouza, Montevideo (Uruguay) Merlot 2010

May 23, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This serious wine was treated to 100% new French oak, and though a few years of ageing will be required for the fruit to soak up all of that wood, the proportions are just right.  Packed with black plum and dark berry fruit, with smoky, spicy oak accents, this is already terrific and destined for an even brighter future.
