El Enemigo Cabernet Franc 2022 is a refined and expressive Argentine red that showcases the elegance and depth possible from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Produced by El Enemigo Wines, this wine reflects the philosophy of balance, restraint, and terroir-driven winemaking that has earned the winery international acclaim.
Sourced primarily from Gualtallary, one of Mendoza’s most sought-after subregions, this Cabernet Franc benefits from cool mountain air, limestone-rich soils, and significant diurnal temperature shifts. The result is a wine that delivers concentration without heaviness and freshness without sacrificing complexity.
On the nose, the 2022 vintage opens with inviting aromas of ripe red currant, black cherry, and cassis, layered with violet, black pepper, and subtle herbal notes. Hints of cedar, cocoa, and sweet spice from oak aging add depth and polish. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, offering vibrant red and dark fruit flavors supported by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long, savory, and well-structured, leaving impressions of spice, minerality, and elegant oak integration.
El Enemigo Cabernet Franc 2022 is both approachable now and capable of short-term aging, making it a versatile choice for Cabernet Franc lovers and collectors alike. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted lamb, mushroom-based dishes, and herb-driven cuisine, but is equally compelling on its own as a thoughtful, food-friendly red.
A standout expression of Argentine Cabernet Franc, this bottle delivers Old World elegance with New World fruit, making it an exceptional value and a must-have for any serious wine collection.
