Garzón Cabernet de Corte 2020
Garzon, Maldonado, San José, UruguayBodega Garzón sits about 20 kilometres inland from what some would call Uruguayan paradise, at Punta del Este, La Barra, and Jose Ignacio. The estate has more than 1,000 hillside vineyard blocks with as many expositions and microclimates providing a wealth of expressive fruit via multiple grape varieties. Corte translates to blend. In this case, it is 80% cabernet franc, 10% tannat, 5% merlot, and 5% marselan. The secret to this wine is the styling. They preach elegance at Garzon, so expect a tight mix of red and black fruit that opens with violets and wet stone, followed by raspberries, blackberries, and green pepper, kissed with dark chocolate. There is no oak here, just pure terroir. We like this with roasted pork ribs on fennel and leeks or pappardelle with a wild mushroom ragu.Tasted: 13 August 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
