The 2020 Cabernet Franc incorporates a 10% touch of Malbec and originates from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. It underwent a 15-month aging process in used foudres. It's a dark and intense purple color. The nose reveals notes of ashes and herbs, interwoven with a subtle hint of jalapeno, set against a backdrop of black fruit and cedar. Dry and delicately lean, the palate is tightly structured and juicy, thanks to its fine-grained tannins. The vibrant palate concludes with a lingering thyme finish.

The nose has floral aromas and a trace of oak spices. This vintage shows a ripe palate, with leafy flavors and ripe fruit in the form of plums and figs. It's soft and balanced and finishes with pleasant spicy notes.

Compact and hits all the right notes, with a smoky herb and peppercorn entry to the tight blackberry core. Ends on a gravelly note. Drink now through 2030. 5,500 cases made, 4,500 cases imported.
