This 100% Cabernet Franc is all hand harvested from a single vineyard from Gualtallary inside of the Uco Valley, Mendoza. The nose is lifted and layered with dark fruits of plum and cassis wrapped in cinnamon bark and crushed dry leaves. A little bit like a mixed berry fruit rollup, this wine has leather qualities and density with hints of nutmeg, hazelnut, and cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. Well integrated tannins lead to a rich, smooth bodied finish.
