Tannat by nature is a hard, brooding grape, and this version from northern Argentina’s Salta region is funky, with olive, horse hide and plenty of dark-fruit aromas and flavors. The palate is leathery but proportioned, with spice and length. Could use a touch more cushion, but hey, that’s Tannat.

Pickle and sauerkraut notes mix with raisins and leather on the nose. It maintains that funky, pickled flavor throughout. Along the way there’s red-berry fruit and some heat-bearing spice. Unconventional and strange, but acceptable.

Syrupy and strange, with a lactic palate feel and cloying cherry fruit. Finishes bitter as well as candied.

Begins with leather, earth and stewed plum aromas. The body is big and manly, with smooth tannins and a chunky mouthfeel. Flavors of plum, berry and rhubarb are lively, accented by a touch of milk chocolate.

Floral as it should be, with lemon and litchi aromas. Citrus controls the palate, aided by notes of green herbs. Long and zesty on the finish. A good Torrontès that’s meant to be served well chilled.

Yellowish rather than pale in color, which indicates some overripeness that’s confirmed on the chunky, apple-driven nose. Big on the palate as well, with tropical fruit preceding a lazy finish. Big in flavor but lacks touch. Imported by Cabernet Corporation.

Fairly earthy and stewy, but not too baked to suffer. The palate is expectedly chunky and meaty, with full-weight dark fruits and some rooty depth. Fairly easygoing and likable, but a tad muddled.

Candied and sweet on the nose, but sour on the tongue. Simply put, it’s astringent, lean and acidic, all common traits of this hard-to-master grape more frequently found in Uruguay.
