"An outstanding Cabernet Franc. Opaque with a powerful bouquet of dark fruit and notes of tobacco and earth. Lush and juicy on the palate. Ripe flavors with firm tannins and a very long finish. - Don WINKLER"

"Ripe blackcurrants, leafy herbs, black olive, and iron notes all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Franc Estate, a ripe, medium to full-bodied, mouth-filling, plush, beautifully textured Cabernet Franc to drink over the coming 7-8 years."

"The 2020 Cabernet Franc Estate Selection comes from the Uco Valley and was aged for six months in French, 500-liter barrels. A rich reddish color. The nose offers ripe raspberry and blackberry with hints of mint and herbs that enhance the other flavors. The aging process makes itself felt in the mouth. The flow has a terse, broad texture initially, but then it grows more compact and linear. The mild acidity enlivens the reactive tannins, which establishes a good structure. A balanced take on the year, it will grow milder with more time in the bottle. - Joaquín Hidalgo"

"Blueberry, blackberry and chili notes on the nose. Red beans, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Juicy and fruity on the palate with a clean finish. Some tar comes through. Drink now."
