In the mouth it has high intensity flavors, fine taninns and great structure.

Vivino's users review:"After the success of its Malbec sister two days prior, had to try this for our final night in Buenos Aires. Like the Malbec, served chilled. Gorgeous deep red velvet colour. Cherry and oak notes at first, followed by a smooth bouquet for this highly acidic and highly tannic cab franc"
