There is extraordinary attention to detail in this Cab Franc and it beautifully exemplifies the rich flavors and sophistication of top Argentinian winemaking. The 2020 vintage showcases vibrant aromas of black cherry, plum, and ripe blackberry with subtle notes of earthy spice. Gorgeous blackcurrant compote encompasses the palate. More complex flavors of muddled raspberries and blackberries, sweet licorice, wilted violets, cinnamon sticks, a walk through the woods after a rain, and hints of tobacco and dark chocolate. The finish is smooth with well-integrated tannins that give you structure but play a purely supporting role character.
This is very typical for Cabernet Franc with blackberries, violets and lavender. It’s medium-bodied with fine, creamy tannins and a beautiful finish. Just a hint of chocolate. Gorgeous to drink now, but will improve with age.
