Modern wine with attractive bright ruby color with violet hues. The nose shows great intensity. Fruity aromas ripe black fruits stand out against a background of fine toasty hints from ageing in top-quality oak. This terroir driven Cabernet Franc boasts flavors of ripe blackberry and spicy pepper with sweet lingering tannins.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: A very floral cabernet franc that shows pressed violets, dried herbs and baking spices. Medium to full body, juicy yet savory tannins and a medium-chewy finish. Succulent.

Producer Information

Belasco de Baquedano is the Agrelo district of Lujan de Cuyo. The vineyards soar up to 3,346 feet, where the conditions are excellent to produce elegant yet powerful premium wines. Warm days are offset by cool nights with as much as a 45F diurnal swing, which produces aroma and flavor, while holding acidity. We have 222 acres of 100 year old Malbec from the original French clones and our viticultural methods are green, with irrigation fed by snow melt. The wines are gravity driven table to tank, using dlestage (submerged cap) tanks in fermenting red wine with skins and seeds for excellent fruit, soft tannins and deep color. Our wines are bottled unfiltered and unstabilized in the traditional artisan style to preserve subtle aromas and flavors, while promoting richness, body and color.
