Uco Valley
The Reserva line is characterized by its elegance and complexity. In order to achieve these qualities, 30-to-50-year-old vines are managed to low yields. Then, the wine develops and gains complexity by further aging in carefully selected French oak barrels. Finally, balance is achieved after a 10-month bottle aging.
Tasting Note
This exclusive Cabernet Franc displays wild freshness with a hint of mint and spiced notes. Its complexity, bold structure and velvety finish convey the extreme conditions of the terroir.

About the Grape
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc usually shows tart red cherry and wild currant aromas and flavors with an herbal, spicy character. In the Loire, esp. Chinon and Saumur-Champigny, this grape shows firm minerality.
