Winemaker’s Notes
El Enemigo Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2021 is a premium red wine from Argentina’s Mendoza wine region. This wine is made entirely from Cabernet Franc grapes grown in a single vineyard located in the Gualtallary sub-region, which is known for producing some of the region’s finest wines.The wine is dark red in color, with aromas of black fruits such as blackberry and black currant, along with hints of black pepper and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are firm and well-structured, giving the wine a long and elegant finish.This wine is aged in French oak barrels for 15 months, which adds subtle notes of oak and spice to the wine’s flavor profile. It has a high alcohol content of 14.5%, which adds to its rich and intense character..
Critic Ratings
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review – Rated 92:
The 2021 Cabernet Franc is similar to the 2019 I tasted next to it and feels like the fruit is darker than the 2020 that I also had the chance to compare it with. It’s still young and energetic, with abundant fine-grained tannins and a chalky, dry finish. 23,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022.
James Suckling Review – Rated 93:
Blue fruit with blackberries, violets, white roses and a touch of curry. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Rather reserved on the palate with a brightness.
James Dunnuck Review – Rated 97:
Another linear offering of the variety, excellent for further aging, the 2021 Cabernet Franc Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard is a showcase of the cooler-climate region, crisp on the palate in lengthy acidity and firm, dusty tannins. The oak accentuates the cauldron of dried herb, baking spice, and garrigue at its heart. Cellar through 2041.
