Pacheco Pereda Cabernet Franc Estirpe Agrelo Vineyard Mendoza Argentina 2021

Yes. YES! Cabernet Franc, good people! 97 POINTS. $14. Awarded Best In Show at the most recent Decanter World Wine Awards – yes, that crazy Olympics of wine sort of event that collects together Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, and some of the most respected winemakers and wine industry veterans on the planet to taste hundreds and hundreds of wines – ALL BLIND! And when the dust settled – this...THIS! A humble family-owned winery in Argentina’s beautifully severe Lujan de Cuyo region takes home the top prize with their cabernet franc. Forget Bottle Shock! This is the sort of Hollywood wine blockbuster I’d pay to see on the big screen (you buy the popcorn, I’ll smuggle in a couple of bottles of this)!

 Un. Believe. Able. Now you won’t be getting that kind of price anywhere! Heck, you can’t even get this wine anywhere else. Just us. Last Bottle for the win! And what a win it is. Super smooth, bright red berries – raspberry, lingonberry, strawberry, cherry, plus floral notes of hibiscus, a sweet red pepper coulis, and a touch of white pepper spice. This is some drink-me-up goodness of the highest order – light and pretty enough to drink about anytime… but with a hidden richness and texture that creeps up on you. Way more going on than any FOURTEEN DOLLAR red wine should have. Get a case! Get TWO! Ok, I’m gonna shut up...97 POINTS at this price?!?! We DO NOT have enough! While it lasts, friends!
