Reserva Cabernet Franc

Good everyday red. I like the austerity and relative constraint of cab franc.

Medium body, smooth but tart, vanilla, boysenberry and cranberry with a peppery finish. Paired well with mushroom pâté.

Mmmmmmm. Red fruit on the nose. Noticeable acidity compared to the other Garzon wines. Punishing tannin, dried red fruit, clove and baking spices on the finish. Weighty, sandpaper texture. A consistently exciting producer.

Not as good as its other counterparts elsewhere in South America

After a 30 minute decant this wine from Uruguay really opens up. Silky smooth, low tannins, full bodied, dark fruit, nice color. Better than the 2016 I had a few years ago. TGIF!!

2015 vintage. Richer red fruit profile with raspberry, stewed cherries, red plum, dried sage, cedar, graphite, dried leaves.

Rich and soft stewed cherry and plum. Gentle acid. Mild, grainy tannins. Holds up on day two. A great intro to the new wave of Uruguayan wine.

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of red pepper flakes, red plums, and tabacco; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of raspberries, strawberries, tart cherries, and clay pots with a long finish. This wine is intense and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good.

Pretty accurate to ratings given by others. It’s certainly a pleasant wine that pairs well with lower acidic foods or just a pleasant late day toast with that significant other about all there is to be grateful for. Will definitely buy again.

Very tart with a lot of tannins. Not my favorites but definitely has a time and place for this.
