About This Wine
Producer Notes
El Enemigo Cabernet Franc is ruby red in color with soft violet tones. It delivers concentrated aromas of juicy plums, raspberries, ripe currants, cassis, black pepper, clove, and tobacco leaves. It is elegant and balanced with flavors of cedar and vanilla. This Cabernet Franc is medium-bodied with excellent structure, supple tannins, a fresh palate, and a persistent finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wet earth and elderberries shape the nose with a touch of dark chocolate. The velvety palate is medium- to full-bodied with a hint of cedar that complements the polished dark fruit. Approachable and exceptional for an entry-level wine. Drink now or hold.
Sourced from Gualtallary's Adrianna Vineyard, the 2022 Cabernet Franc contains 10% Malbec and underwent a 60-day maceration and aged for 15 months in a mix of foudre, barrique and tank. Opening with a dark-fruited, floral and spice-inflected nose, the palate offers dramatic richness tempered by a sturdy, upright, mineral-driven core. It concludes with an explosive, long and layered finish that balances vibrant energy and staining intensity. This is a strikingly overperforming example of the variety that should develop beautifully in the cellar.
A delicate blend of spices, including white pepper, shapes the bouquet of this fresh Cabernet Franc. The palate is juicy and tasty, with abundant fruit and hints of bell pepper. Balancing acidity and soft tannins provides a sturdy structure for a long, savory finish.
