This is 100% Cabernet Franc from Argentina.  Garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has black cherries, slight green tobacco notes and a bit of sea air.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, black cherry fruit  with a bit of Anise.  Good finish.  This is dry but ripe.  It drinks easily on its own with just a bit of complexity.  It should work well with meat or pasta dishes.  Drink over the next five to  seven years.  very nice  value!

This is Blaufrankish from Austria and if you have never tried that varietal, it is being used quite successfully in central Europe and especially Austria.  Garnet/Purple/Blue in color, clear and bright.  The nose is deep and very nice.  Aromas of Goji Berries, dust, white pepper and tea leaves.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, sour cherries, sour green apples, and slight pepper all in a very nice almost seamless package.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own but better with food.  It would be nice with veal.  Drink over the next eight to twelve years.
