The 2023 BenMarco Cabernet Franc was sourced from Paraje Altamira. It opens with notes of ash and green pepper. On the palate, it is flavorful and polished, with fine, juicy tannins that carry a wave of dark fruit through the finish. For a warm year, this is a precise and vibrant example.

Harvest

Hand-harvested.

Vinification

Cold-maceration at 46 F for 48 hours. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 54 F. Two daily push-downs. Maceration lasted 26 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred 100% in barrels.

Ageing

11 months in French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

Red color and purple hues. It displays aromas of spices and dry grass with a slight earthy character, such as chalk. It also has a subtle vegetable trace in the mid-palate, complemented by fine, precise tannins. It is a wine of great aging potential, and it is better to let it air for a while in the glass before drinking.

Food Pairing

Game meat, baby goat, venison, duck and dishes with earthy, rustic flavors such as portobello, black olives and grilled red peppers.
