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.

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!!

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.

2022 vintage. Dry, with complex, but subtle flavors. Quite enjoyable

v21. Very nice. Black pepper and cedar nose. Bright, juicy blackberry fruit. Clean, slightly astringent, leather finish. Nice entertaining wine.
