The 2020 Cabernet Franc Single Vineyard Lauren hails from Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo and was a third fermented in barrels and 100% aged in multi-use oak for 12 months. Garnet red in hue. The vividly fragrant nose offers ash, blackcurrant and hints of mint, pyrazine and red peppers. A precisely-made, tight red. The palate is voluminous but firmly channeled with refined tannins, a juicy flow and plenty of grip. The 2020 is intense, flavorful and long-lasting. Vinous January 2023

Ashy berries, roasted sweet spices, currants and tobacco on the nose that follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate with firm tannins and generous, juicy berry fruit. Some sweet spices and sweet fruit in the finish. Drink or hold. James Suckling March2023

Fruit-focused and medium-bodied, this red is packed with strawberry and blackberry notes that repeat on the nose and palate. It's balanced and has depth, displaying herbs and light notes of tobacco in the finish. Wine Enthusiast December 2023
