The 2020 Cabernet Franc Graffito from Perdriel, Mendoza was aged for 12 months in French barrels. Garnet red in hue. The expressive nose features notes of ash and bell pepper with redcurrant, mint and refined woody aromas. It's dry in the mouth with reactive tannins, juicy freshness and a faint hint of salinity. A ripe, subtle red. Vinous September 2022

Aromas of black fruit, plums, spinach leaves, cigar box and dark chocolate. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Compact core of dark fruit, wrapped up in more chocolate and vanilla. Try in 2024. James Suckling May 2022
