TintoNegro Uco Valley Cabernet Franc 2014
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaWild blackberry, smoked meats and streaky bacon fat lead this higher altitude Uco Valley cabernet franc, before a persistant perfumed violet floral takes over. Sueded, dusky tannins support the medium bodied, lifted and cherry-laden fruit to a mineral, limestone-spiked finish. TintoNegro is a collaboration project between Alejandro Sejanovich and Jeff Mausbach, colleagues at Bodega Catena Zapata for almost 15 years. Finesse finishes warm, and best suited to pork dishes. A new lens for Argentinian reds.Tasted: 10 August 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.49 | 750ml | private wine shops |
