If you are looking for a great summer white alternative that offers great value, and more importantly, great food diversity as well as being able to proudly stand on its own, then look no further. Garzon has helped give the wines of Uruguay more exposure and show that it’s just not Tannat that that country can excel at. Garzon has an extensive, well thought out and planned varietal playbook. One of our favorites from them has been their Albarino Reserva. The varietal is native to the cooler, wetter northwest corner of Spain where it has identified itself as a great seafood and shell fish wine with its crisp and focused fruit. Garzon’s version offers a bit more scale, body weight and mouth feel  while still maintaining the requisite acidity to keep it varietally correct as well as showcasing its affinity for food.  This wine speaks of warmer weather and the lighter style food that comes with it. For those not sure and sitting on the fence this has several solid reviews that speaks of its quality, 91 pts from the Wine Spectator and James Suckling, respectively. A great summer option that works away from most people’s norm in terms of warm weather drinking choices this is a terrific option.
