A Cabernet Franc from (Eugenio Bustos district ) San Carlos Departament in Uco Valley, Mendoza.
Wonderful red, full of delicatessen. Black cherries with a deep roasted red bell pepper and a nice herbal undertone quite nice. Chocolate and smoke on a moderate complement. Deep and attractive at 'first sight' as Uco´s used to do. A 93 point red at its best point in maturity and may linger so 2 to 4 years more (like 8 to 10 years from harvest) without loss. A great value and one of those wnes to get by a case.
