2022 La Battalla, 750ml, 13.0%
Amongst the “fighting varietals” there exists a grand “battalla,” as various versions of vinifera compete for the hearts and minds of the populace. With this bottling, we proudly profess our preference for that alternative Cab, namely the forthright Franc. No fake fermentations here, we went old school, co-mingling whole clusters of Malbec at crush, and using native yeast. We think that you’ll find that this bottling of Cabernet Franc stands counter to the currant and resists the tyranny of tannin.
This wine protrays cherry, black pepper, chocolate. Moderate tannins and a smooth finish.
