Arraigo Benegas
Estate Mendoza Cabernet Franc
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
An decent wine but not sure I’d repeat. It didn’t have many of the traditional notes of cab franc I was looking for.

Pleasant with Pat’s lasagna ($20), but La Quercia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo would have been a better choice.

Nose of blackberry and leather.
Blackberry comes through in the flavor. Lighter body, low acidity, medium tannins

A dry red wine. Strong tannins and notes of marzipan. Easy to drink and wonderful aftertaste.

A beautiful fruity, bold, cab franc. Fruit forward with red tart aromas and flavors followed by notes of tar and chocolate. High tannins and nice structure.

My first Argentine Cab Franc. This is New World in every sense, but the oak is integrated beautifully and the wine is balanced and classy. Crimson color, nose of brambly, super-lifted red and blue fruit and subtle baking spices. Acid and tannin are in striking balance, and the finish is pure and long. Not overly complex, but certainly delicious.
