Cabernet Franc

Matias Michelini · Uco Valley, Argentina

This Cabernet Franc comes from a single parcel in San Pablo, Tunuyán in Valle de Uco. Vinayards are situated at 1500 meters above sea level. Flavors of red currants, blackberries, and plums dominate the palate, contributing to a layered fruit profile. The wine's complex character unfolds with additional nuances of black pepper and earthy notes. The finish is firm and balanced.
