Signature Valle de Uco Cabernet Franc
Valle De Uco, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Really enjoyed the balance and snap here with briquette grilled beef in the Shenandoah's a week+ back. I preferred it significantly to the 2019 Fronsac I brought along.

Fragrant mountain fruit
A few hours of airtime, as per my usual.
Some tropical notes at first sip - Shea, coconut, this opens the floor up for debate on what comes next, is it the dark chocolate cherry, or cacao nibs with red stone fruits? Hard to say, except the finish is even, tannin acid balance is quite nice.
Overall this is an amazing Cab Franc.

Luscious black raspberry, bitter chocolate and espresso. Tannins and acidity are there. Good stuff.

Oct 22nd, 2021Good, strong, plummy and blackberry fruits. Oaky. Good for cured meats, funky cheese, osso bucco
