I love 100% Cabernet Franc but not sure if I’ve had one from Argentina. This wine is delicious! Full bodied, coates your mouth with dark red fruit and has a very smooth finish.

Vintage 2017 | a few years cellaring is very profitable! Dark colour, warm comforting smell with spices and a hint of pepper bell next to morello cherries. Full bodied taste with good balance and also slight pepper bell impression. Very good effort. | paired with beef steak

Smooth and full bodied. Mild tannins from start to finish. Smoky and a touch spicy.

Smooth on the palate. Not as big as other cab francs but really nice for the price point. Would buy again.
