Garzón Cabernet Franc-Tannat Estate 2015
Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayPoured blind, you could mistake this for a BC cabernet franc, though the 20 percent tannat in the blend might puzzle you at first. However, it's a lovely dark-fruited chord in the effusive melody of herbal cassis, fresh plums, pepper and scented cedar. Tannins are well-managed and finely grippy; the acidity is bright enough to lift and brighten the 14 percent alcohol. It's impressive and drinkable now with most grilled meats.Tasted: 05 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
