Altos de la Ballena, Uruguay (Uruguay) Cabernet Franc 2008

May 29, 2012

By Michael Franz

 Made entirely from Cabernet Franc and aged exclusively in French oak, this is packed with sweet fruit that punches right through the wood notes and persists quite impressively on the palate.  Give this a few years to settle out and develop some secondary characteristics from bottle again and you’ll have a true beauty on your hands.
