Fuego Blanco Cabernet Franc-Malbec 2017
San Juan
Argentina

"The 2017 Cabernet Franc Malbec is 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Malbec and combines the peppery and herbal notes of the Cabernet Franc with the floral and aromatic characteristics of Malbec. On the palate, the two varieties also seem to work quite well together, coming through as harmonious and compact, with fine tannins and great freshness. 40,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2018." —Wine Advocate

"The aromas of brambly cassis and plums are youthfully fresh. The palate has smoothly rendered tannins that carry a very succulent and juicy feel, leading to ripe and richly captured dark berries. Drink now." —James Suckling

"There is an inviting aroma of black pepper and herbs in this blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Malbec. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Pedernal Valley, San Juan. It's flavorful and vibrant, with tasty notes of bay leaf, berries and paprika supported by lovely acidity and fine tannins." —Wine Enthusiast
