Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

FIN Cabernet Franc 2007, a second taste for a great Patagonian CF
FIN del Mundo, Cabernet Franc 2007, By Bodegas del Fin del Mundo, USD 25
A single vineyard red from San Patricio Valley in Neuquen Province of North Patagonia. bodegadelfindelmundo.com .
Very attractive red with nice complexity, now sweeter and round fruit with a bit of nice oxidation but preserving a pappery spicy note with a herbal tone. Probably the complexity is bigger given the softer the fruit. I´d say a 91 point Cabernet Franc to enjoy the best between 4 and 6 years old at a superpremium level. A very good value to share with friends and foods more than once.
