2023 Catena -Cabernet Franc San Carlos (750ml)

Catena Zapata has spent decades proving that Argentina is capable of producing wines that stand alongside the finest in the world, and their single-vineyard San Carlos Cabernet Franc is one of the most compelling arguments in that case. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the San Carlos department of the Uco Valley — where cool nights, thin mountain air, and volcanic soils combine to produce grapes of exceptional aromatic precision and natural freshness — the 2023 delivers a Cabernet Franc of real elegance and character. Violet, red cherry, fresh herbs, graphite, and a distinctly cool-climate mineral tension on the nose, with a medium-bodied palate of silky precision, firm but refined tannins, and a long, savory finish that will delight lovers of great Cab Franc from anywhere in the world. A wine that rewards curiosity and repays attention with every sip.
