A Reserva Cabernet Franc from Bodega Garzón — strong purple with violet reflections, mineral aromas of ripe peppers, spices, forest fruits, chocolate, and smoked barrel hints, with gentle tannins and a complex palate of prunes, ripe blackberries, and fresh eucalyptus and mint notes.
Tasting Notes
Strong purple with violet reflections. Mineral aromas from ripe peppers, spices, and forest fruits accompanied by a subtle chocolate note and smoked hints from selected barrels. Gentle tannins in the mouth, mixing prunes and ripe blackberries with fresh eucalyptus and mint notes that add to the complexity. One of Uruguay's most characterful expressions of Cabernet Franc — more Mediterranean and mineral than Bordeaux, with the freshness of the Garzón hillside terroir.
