This variety, after Malbec, is the one that has evolved best in the last five years. We strive to obtain varietal typicity with this high altitude Cabernet Franc - complex and well structured, with elegant tannins and the perfect balance of tannin from 15 months aging in French oak barrels. This vintage displays a concentrated aroma of jam, red peppers, and tobacco, while having well structured, full bodied notes on the palate.

Winery Info

CORAZON DEL SOL

In 2008, Dr. Madaiah Revana went to Argentina seeking to add to his family of estate wineries which includes Revana Family Vineyard in Napa Valley and Alexana Winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Enthralled by the terroir of the Uco Valley, he was determined to find his next great estate here on the incredible alluvial soils of the Andes Mountains. The Corazón del Sol Estate is a 17-acre parcel planted in an ancient stone covered riverbed at the eastern base of the Andes Mountains and enjoys over 300 days of sunlight a year. Cultivated in the Uco Valley, which is situated in Mendoza on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains, the vines sit at 3,600 feet elevation, where the UV Index is intense, and the air is thinner and cooler. Extreme shifts in temperature allow for the longest ripening window in the region.
