2023 El Enemigo Cabernet Franc, Mendoza, Argentina
Argentina's Cult Cabernet Franc
El Enemigo is the project of Adrianna Catena and Alejandro Vigil, Catena Zapata's chief winemaker. Adrianna grew up drinking Old-World Bordeaux with her father, and that love of Bordeaux inspired this wine: a high-altitude Cabernet Franc. The grapes come from Gualtallary, in the Uco Valley, at 4,620–4,851 feet on calcareous, rocky soils. The blend is 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Malbec, aged in French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Raspberry, plum and black currant, with herbs and cracked pepper.
- Palate: Fresh and lively, with fine-grained tannins and a long, spicy finish.
