2023 El Enemigo 'El Enemigo' Cabernet Franc Mendoza

Adrianna Catena grew up drinking Old-World Bordeaux with her father.  She will never forget the first time her dad received a shipment of wine from France and opened a bottle of Cheval Blanc for her.

Alejandro Vigil served Angelica Zapata Cabernet Franc at his wedding.  It's as if both Alejandro and Adrianna were born with a taste for the peppery aromas, grainy tannins, and freshness of this variety.

Tasting Notes

El Enemigo Cabernet Franc is ruby red in color with soft violet tones. It delivers concentrated aromas of juicy plums, raspberries, ripe currants, cassis, black pepper, clove, and tobacco leaves. It is elegant and balanced with flavors of cedar and vanilla. This Cabernet Franc is medium-bodied with excellent structure, supple tannins, a fresh palate, and a persistent finish.

Food Pairing

Pair El Enemigo Cabernet Franc with smoky barbecue, rich lentil stew, herb roasted pork, or eggplant parmesan.
