2023 Catena -Cabernet Franc San Carlos (750ml)
2023 Catena San Carlos Cabernet Franc — 750ml
From Catena Zapata’s single-vineyard in the San Carlos district of Argentina’s renowned Uco Valley, the 2023 Cabernet Franc captures a cool-climate expression that combines aromatic clarity with natural freshness. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards, this wine reflects the precision of its terroir: cool nights, thin mountain air, and volcanic soils contributing to its distinctive character and elegance.
This Cabernet Franc presents an aroma profile marked by violet, red cherry, fresh herbs, graphite, and a cool-climate mineral tension. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture, supported by firm yet refined tannins and a long, savory finish that lingers with vibrancy and poise.
