Out of the ten wines that we preselected during our trip to Mendoza and Cafayate, two emerged as standouts during our blind tasting week. Interestingly, neither of them are Malbecs — despite a few making the initial cut. We also sampled some delicious Torrontés wines, but they were ultimately outshined by some French classics, perhaps reflecting a collective old world bias? Next time, we'll invite our new Argentinian friends to join us for the blind tasting!

Cabernet Franc 2022
Uco Valley - Mendoza
This Cabernet Franc is sourced from the Justo vineyard in Chacayes, Tunuyán, at over 1,000 meters above sea level in the Uco Valley. The grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks and spend 12 months aging in first-use French oak barrels. The wine has a stunning ruby color and an intense, complex bouquet of black cherry, blueberry, and cassis, perfectly integrated with subtle woody notes from barrel aging. On the palate, the acidity is balanced with silky tannins, and a persistent, unforgettable finish. It is best paired with tomato-based dishes, pasta, pizza, goat cheese and meat.
