El Enemigo Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Cabernet Franc 2020

A monumental and crystalline expression of high-altitude viticulture, the 2020 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary is sourced from a single vineyard characterized by its intense limestone and rocky soils at nearly 5,000 feet. This vintage presents a deep, saturated ruby color and an extraordinarily complex nose of crushed blackcurrants, wild raspberries, and violets, interwoven with high-toned notes of graphite, jarilla (wild herbs), and a distinct stony minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet remarkably lithe, showcasing a vertical structure with fine-grained, chalky tannins and a vibrant, racy acidity. Matured for 18 months in century-old French oak foudres, it delivers an exceptionally long, savory finish marked by lingering floral nuances and a cool-climate precision.
