Bodega Garzon Reserva Cabernet Franc 2024 750ml

Bodega Garzón is owned by Alejandro and Bettina Bulgheroni and sits in Maldonado, Uruguay, about 11 miles from the Atlantic. It was the first LEED-certified winery outside North America.

The 2024 is 100% Cabernet Franc from rocky soils with exposed granite. It fermented in cement tanks and then aged 6 to 12 months in large 50-hectoliter French oak casks rather than small barrels, so the fruit and pepper come through. It's 13% alcohol.

It shows herbal and mineral aromas with ripe pepper, spice and berries, hints of dark chocolate and smoke, and soft tannins.

Against Echeverría No Es Pituko, Garzón is more structured and polished; for a classic Cabernet Franc with grilled meat, choose Garzón.

Pair it with pork ribs with fennel or grilled meats. Serve it slightly below room temperature.
