Garzón Reserve Cabernet Franc 2015

91POINTS

16^¾/20

Garzon, Maldonado, San José, UruguayConsulting winemaker Alberto Antonini has high hopes for cabernet franc at Garzón, and we can see why. Fermentation in large concrete tanks spent 6-12 months on the 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. Highly drinkable now - especially with grilled meats or mushroom ragout - but you could age this through 2020 with no issues.
