Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

From higher elevation, deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits, herbs and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with leafy herbs, oak and black pepper. Fine fresh tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and herb spice. Nice!

More structure, more delineated than the 2015. Wrapper leaf, raspberry, cocoa powder. Bordelaise. Just extraordinary. Hard to ask for more at under $15. #fabremontmayou #lujondecuyo #mendoza #cabernetfranc

High-altitude, old vines. Neither raw pyrazene nor a jam bomb; superb balance & ripeness. Cigar box, raspberry, mocha. Possibly the most Bordelaise of all Fabre's wines. Lives up to the press & hype. Exceptional value. #cabernetfranc #mendoza
