Dark berries, violet and gentle spice shape El Enemigo Cabernet Franc 2022 into a focused, medium-bodied red with impressive depth for the price. The palate is polished yet taut, with bright acidity and fine, persistent tannins that carry a long, layered finish and hint at real aging potential.

El Enemigo Cabernet Franc is Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena’s signature Cabernet Franc from high‑altitude Gualtallary (Uco Valley), typically ~90–92% Cabernet Franc with a small Malbec co‑component, grown on deep, calcareous, rocky soils and aged mainly in old French foudres and barrels. The wine leans herbaceous and peppery with violet and red/black fruit notes, a stony/mineral thread, lively acidity and fine, polished tannins—an elegant, terroir‑driven Argentine expression of the variety.
