Note di degustazione
The 2019 Cabernet Franc Gran Enemigo El Cepillo also includes 15% Malbec and originates from the eponymous area within the southernmost vineyard of the Uco Valley. It underwent a 15-month aging process in foudres . In the glass, it showcases a purple hue. The nose reveals ashes, green bell pepper and blackberry, accompanied by herbal undertones and a sun-kissed essence against a cedar backdrop. Dry and lusciously juicy, the palate features fine-grained tannins and a restrained mouthfeel contributing to a taut and precisely structured yet weightless sensation. The distinct essence of ashes dominates the lingering finish.

The layered and complex 2019 Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard has an expressive nose with a mixture of curry, nutmeg, aromatic herbs and dried flowers, perfumed and expressive. The vineyard was planted in 2000 with Cabernet Franc and some 15% Malbec that fermented in concrete and a 2,000-liter oak vat with indigenous yeasts and with 50% full clusters. This bottling is always very distinct, with incredible aromatics, a medium to full-bodied palate, 13.5% alcohol and very good freshness. It's vibrant and finishes dry and with a salty twist. 7,200 bottles were filled in July 2020.
