Bright black fruit aromas, very accessible and soft. Good balance of fruit and acidity, medium tannins and lively finish with blackberry, mocha and earthy notes. Great wine for easy drinking with friends

Not aging like I had hoped. American oak is in there but not biting. Rich, dark fruit that is almost cloying but the acid saves the day.

Solid bottle! Reminds me of the trip to South America. Unfortunately they don't usually export.

It’s a bit green, but has expressive dark fruits and some earthy spice. The oak is a bit aggressive, but it retains a nice freshness.

America needs more Argentinian Cab Franc! One of the best bangs for your buck in my option. Fantastic night at Texsom
