This weeks Behind the Bottle Special:
Ricominciare Cabenet Franc – Malbec 2006
Varietal Composition: Cabernet Franc 40% – Malbec 60%
Vineyard: Finca San Vicente, Valle de uco, La Consulta, Mendoza.
Altitude: 900 mts./ 2.953 feet
Alcohol: 14º
Production: 8,064 bottles
This wine, made from grapes grown 2,953 feet above sea level, is only lightly filtered to leave the pure essence of the land in the bottle. This fresh wine has distinctive hints of freshly cut grass in its bouquet. The refreshing herbaceuosness of Cabernet Franc is perfectly softened out by rich spicy Malbec grapes.
