Bodega Garzon Albariño Garzon 2013
Brilliant pale straw. The nose is wonderfully fragrant and complex with notes of apricot, red grapefruit, nectarine, green papaya, dark oolong tea, and mineral. The palate is fully simpatico with the aromatics offering a vibrant entry with lingering ripe and tart orchard fruit notes, accents of ginger, and lemongrass. A beautiful example of the varietal’s panache and power to refresh. $16.99 – 4 Stars – 91 points
Bodega Garzon Sauvignon Blanc Garzon 2013
Very pale straw color. The aromatics offer bright and lively scents of greens leaves, grapefruit, lemon zest, and tart tea berries. The palate is in full agreement delivering a rush of tart citrus driven fruit with a healthy dose of grapefruit pith and Key lime. This is vibrant aperitif wine begging for chilled shellfish, baba ghanouj, or farm cheese. $16.99 – 3 Stars – 85 points
Bodega Garzon Tannat Garzon 2013
Deepest, darkest ruby red color. The nose is rich and super concentrated with scents of roasted black berry, black plum, cherry, and eucalyptus, pomegranate, cigar box, and a bit of lapsang souchong. The palate fulfills the promise of the nose and then some delivering a mouth-coating black fruit essence with plenty of dried leafy herbs, mineral, and cocoa nibs in support. A real beauty that just gets better and better with more aeration so be sure to throw this in a decanter to discover its full potential. $19.99 – 4 Stars – 91 points
