2019 Alpasion Gran Cabernet Franc Los Chacayes, Argentina

 Colour: Deep ruby with garnet hues. 

Nose: Intense and complex, with aromas of sour cherries, white pepper, graphite, and a hint of licorice. There are additional layers of dark chocolate and coffee, adding depth and richness. 

Palate: Full-bodied and well-structured, with flavors echoing the nose—sour cherries, white pepper, licorice, dark chocolate, and coffee. The wine has a chewy, spicy mouthfeel, with a touch of toastiness. 

Finish: Long and lingering, with a warm, peppery, and slightly toasty finish. 

This wine is a true reflection of the terroir and craftsmanship that went into its creation. Perfect to enjoy with hearty dishes or on its own to fully savor its complexity. 

Critic tasting note: "If you like big wines, you will enjoy this full-bodied red. It has aromas of ripe plum and cigar box emerging from the glass. Oak and herbaceous flavors reach equilibrium on the palate where notes of peppercorn, bell pepper, plum and smoke are combined. Supported by chewy tannins and good acidity, this wine finishes long."
