El Enemigo Cabernet Franc 2023 is a dry red wine from Mendoza, Argentina, made mostly from Cabernet Franc. It comes from El Enemigo, the winery of Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena, and is grown at roughly 4,600 to 4,850 feet in Gualtallary, in the Uco Valley, on rocky, chalky soils.
The 2023 blends in 10% Malbec, both grapes drawn from the Adrianna Vineyard and a neighbouring Gualtallary estate.
Expect red berries, black cherry and currant, with black pepper, tobacco and a fresh herbal lift. It is medium-bodied, with supple tannins, bright acidity and a long finish. Jeb Dunnuck gives it 95 points, Wine Advocate 93, James Suckling 93 and Tim Atkin MW 91.
If Malbec is your usual Argentine red, this shows the fresher side of Mendoza: lighter on its feet, with pepper and acidity in place of plush dark fruit.
Pair it with smoky barbecue, herb-roasted pork, lentil stew or eggplant Parmesan.
