Description
Discover the elegant and complex Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon Blend from Bodega La Vigilia, sourced from Chacayes, Tunuyán, Valle de Uco, at 1100 meters above sea level. Aged for 16 months in third-use French oak barrels and fermented in stainless steel tanks, this blend is composed of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. With 91 points in Descorchados 2024, this wine is distinguished by its intense ruby red color.
On the nose, it reveals a symphony of black cherries, mature currants, and sweet spices, with subtle hints of red bell pepper. On the palate, it offers exceptional balance and elegance, with a well-structured and persistent finish. The wine features pronounced intensity with notes of mature plums, chocolate, a floral touch, and subtle earthy and spicy hints of black pepper. Its rich flavor concentration and enveloping, silky texture make it a wine of great complexity, intense, balanced, and fresh.
This blend pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it an excellent choice to accompany pasta with meat sauce or beef lasagna, where its fruity and spicy notes enhance the rich, complex flavors of the dishes. For a more innovative pairing, try it with confit duck with cherry sauce or aged cheeses like Manchego, which complement and contrast perfectly with its intensity and structure.
