Did you know that Malbec and Cabernet Franc grapes actually originated in Bordeaux, France? They are still used in some Bordeaux blends today!
The Clos de los Siete 2013 has notes of violet, licorice and dark chocolate with an elegant finish. This wine comes from the Uco Valley and is a Malbec-dominated red blend that also contains with 23% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah and 4% Petit Verdot.
The Enemigo Wines 2011 is a Cabernet Franc from the Mendoza region with notes of red berry and cherry and earthiness. Imported by the Wine Bow Group. Both are full bodied wines and unique and excellent and some of the best I've had from Argentina.
Available at Screwtop Wine Bar and Total Wine. Cheers!
