Garzón Cabernet Franc Reserva 2015
Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayConsulting winemaker Alberto Antonini has high hopes for cabernet franc at Garzón, and we can see why. The fermentation is in large concrete tanks before it is aged 6-12 months, on its lees in French barrels and casks. Intense medicinal-scented blackberry and cherry aromas lead into a softer palate of the same, with light smoke, branch, and dark, cocoa-dusted tannins swelled by a gentle lift of acidity. Very structured, this full-bodied cabernet franc is brightened with fresh minerality throughout. It's highly drinkable now - especially with grilled meats or mushroom ragout - but you could age this through 2020 with no issues.
