H.J. Fabre Reserva Cabernet Franc 2021

Fabre buys grapes for this cabernet franc from the Alto Agrelo zone, about 1,100 meters above sea level and toward the beginning of the Andean foothills. It's a 100% cabernet franc from 20-year-old vines planted on alluvial soils. It has herbal aromas that combine with ripe red fruits in a wine whose palate shows its claws, with firm and reactive tannins surrounded by flavors of juicy fruit. Score - 92.
