Bodega Garzon
Reserva Cabernet Franc
Maldonado, Uruguay, Uruguay
this was great - i tend to roll the dice with wines from Uruguay w/mixed results but this over achieved: deep ruby opaque wafting impressive black & red fruit, deep rich generous, along with typical CF medley of cracked pepper, herbaceous, and some bell pepper notes. Traditional yet w/New World exuberance this was balanced & polished on palate, med bodied harmonious med tannins & acidity leading to lingering finish. Bump for QPR

Sep 25th, 2026Clear, 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.
