Catena Appellation San Carlos Cabernet Franc 2023

Catena Appellation San Carlos Cabernet Franc 2023 is a refined and aromatic red that highlights the unique high-altitude terroir of the southern Uco Valley. Sourced from the El Cepillo vineyard in San Carlos, where cold nights and alluvial soils promote a slow ripening process, this vintage is characterized by its remarkable freshness and varietal purity. It offers an expressive bouquet of ripe red berries and blackcurrants, seamlessly layered with signature notes of eucalyptus, fresh mint, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and elegant, showcasing a silky texture with fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that leads to a long, mineral-inflected finish.
