| APPELLATION SAN CARLOS CABERNET FRANC 2018 San Carlos, Uco Valley, Mendoza |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CATENA |
| This is the third release in Vintages - the first one was the 2013, the second was the 2016 and now the 2018. This very accomplished 100% Cabernet Franc is getting better with each release. Very deep intense purple colour, the attractive, spicy, ripe, gently juicy, plummy-red currant nose has some slightly leafy, cedary notes (12 months aging in new French oak). It’s very dry, medium-full bodied and well structure with ripe plummy-red-currant flavours with some faintly herbal, lead pencil and cedar notes on the firm, lingering, still youthful finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and only 1.8 g/L residual sugar with lot number L20309 the back label. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This variety looks at home here, showing a fresh edge of light herbs across red berries and red plums. The palate has a very seamless, supple feel and a fresh, elegant yet long finish. Good depth here. Drink or hold. Score - 93 (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 17, 2020) |
