  April 26, 2024 - Solid well made wine but lacks the vegetal character of cab franc and reminds me more of a leaner Malbec. Plum, bramble, leather, tobacco, spicy. Medium-full body, low-medium acid, low-medium tannins. Accessible crowd-pleaser. Expected even better for a $20 Argentinian wine.

  April 2, 2024 - Punches way above its weight class. For $30 this is a steal.
  
  Modern, reductive winemaking imparting very fresh aromatics. Plum, black currant, cigar box. Slight vegetal note, but not vibrant pz/bell pepper, more of a potting soil / compost-like vegetal character.
  
  Medium body, medium tannin, medium+ acid, very smooth.

  March 29, 2024 - Dark ruby-purple but still translucent. Lovely nose right at pop and pour, with violets at the fore. Yummy fruit in the mouth, with furry tannin. Decent for the money. 5-12-15-8: 90/100.

  March 9, 2024 - A very dark showcase of cabernet franc. Plum, tobacco, violet, vanilla, blackberry and mild oak come together for a deep exploration of aroma and flavour married in stupendous balance. It's almost completely barren of the varietal's pyrazine flare, yet still full-bodied and wonderfully structured with tannins that grip the sides while keeping it smooth down the middle. Complex, nicely acidic and with a long finish that brings the floral notes upwards, this Mendoza gem is a treat.

  March 8, 2024 - Unusual style for a cab franc, light, without the grassy vegetal notes I am used to. Doesn't really hold up well on Day 2
