EL ENEMIGO

Cabernet Franc 2021

- 94 points -

The main source of cabernet franc from El Enemigo (one of the masters of the variety in South America) is located on the sandy stone and limestone soils of Gualtallary, toward the north of the Uco Valley and about 1,400 meters above sea level. In this case, it's a selection of blocks rich in calcium carbonate that, in a cool season like 2021, has given a delicious combination of fruity flavors and herbal notes. The palate is tense and full of firm and juicy tannins, while the flavors of sour cherries have a party going on. A little delight that speaks of El Enemigo's expertise with the variety and an excellent year at Uco.
