El Enemigo Cabernet Franc 2019

This fine wine has aromas of fresh plums, raspberries, currants, tobacco leaves and bark. Medium-bodied with supple tannins and a creamy, vibrant and fresh palate. Juicy fruit. Drink now or hold.

It was curious to see how the Cabernet Franc in cooler years seemed to have ripened more thoroughly. The 2019 Cabernet Franc and 2021 felt riper than 2020, with darker fruit and a headier sensation, despite all being around 13.5% alcohol. These bottlings are never 100% from the variety, and this one contains some 10% Malbec. It has some spicy oak in the background.
