Viña Eden, Cerro Negro, Gran Reserva

Description

Vina Eden’s top red wine is a blend of the best grapes and is showcase the best Tannat that Uruguay is famed for making such high-quality examples of. Cerro Negro refers to the site of the vineyard; this blended wine is aged for 12 months in new oak to impart complexity and elegance.

This is a wine for those who love big and bold bottles. It has big, extracted black fruit flavours and is solid black in the glass. It is meaty yet supple with fleshy flavours of fruits of the forest, blackcurrant, black olive and tobacco. In the long and mouthcoating finish, there are some savoury spices with a cleansing freshness. If you like your big Malbecs from Argentina or Cabernets from California, this is a great example of a wine to discover in a similar full-bodies profile that has terrific ageing potential.
