Marcus Gran Reserva Cabernet Franc 2008, by Bodega Canale, USD 32
http://www.bodegahcanale.com/
A Cabernet Franc from Rio Negro Valley, Rio Negro Province, North Patagonia. From the oldest Patagonian Winery alive (born 1909).
Impressive red with all the balance and beauty of a Patagonian CF. Sweet black berries and roasted red bell
peppers on a toasty chocolaty envelope. Small hints of vanilla and smoke to make it more interestingly complex. Even so the wine is quite straight and clearly attractive. A 93 point red with its best point in time somewhere between now and 2 years ahead. Great value. A must to grasp Patagonian CF. Not easy to find given the small production.
