James Suckling 92pt

An attractive nose with spices, wild herbs and a hint of smoke to the savory cherries. Medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins and a juicy center-palate. Sappy and pristine.

by James Suckling, 2023
Vinous Media 93pt

The 2021 Cabernet Franc Gran from the Uco Valley was aged in foudres for 12 months. Garnet red in hue. The outgoing, intricate nose offers blackcurrant, mint, hints of ash and herbs followed by aromas of black tea, rose petal, tomato leaf and a little spice. Broad and potent but medium-bodied, the accomplished acidity lends vigor and depth to the flavors. The 2021 is a ripe but expressive wine.

Winemaking

Manual selection before and after destemming, then the grapes fill stainless steel tanks by the action of gravity. Traditional vinification with daily pumping over in stainless tanks. Maceration during 25 days (Fermentation: 15/20 days at 24-28°C). Spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

Food pairing

This wine is perfect with grilled meats, meat dishes with sauce and assorted cheeses. The Sommelier’s advice : The complex spicy notes of this 100% Argentinean Gran Cabernet Franc will enhance a chocolate and coffee dessert. The sweetness of the Brie de Meaux Fermier AOP will also go well with this Gran Cabernet Franc.

Ageing

100% in new French foudres. Aging duration: 14 months.

Tasting notes

Reddish tones of medium to high intensity. On the nose this wine expresses all the elegance of the varietal; bell pepper and roses, molded by the minerality of the terroir and some slight oak descriptors. The mouthfeel has medium intensity and a silky texture. Elegant and delicate finish that makes it possible to enjoy the varietal typicity without overpowering oak. Serve at 16°C. Decant for 1 hour. Can be aged for up to 8 years.
