Cabernet Cats
We got a few bottles of this Cabernet Franc from Argentina the other day. Often when we get international bottles of wine, I have a hard time locating any of the same on the Internet. Sometimes it's just a language barrier since I only know one - English - but most often I just can't seem to dig it up any where no matter how many search engines I fuss with. Luckily, I found this exact wine the 4 Seasons web site:

2003 Uva Negra Cuvee Martina - Cabernet Franc

Lying at the foot of the Andeslinks Mountains and on the edge of the fertile Pampas grasslands, the Alvarez family vineyards are surrounded by an arid climate and protective mountain ranges. The high temperatures provide a template for wines featuring sensuous dark aromas and tannins. With abundant amounts of sunlight and little rain, the vineyards are nearly free of fungus which otherwise threatens grapes. In honor of a young girl who lives next to the vineyards and assisted the winemaking, the wine received the name Cuvee Martina, also known as "Martina's Red." As 100% Cabernet Franc, the wine has a solid structure and round tannins with intense aromas of wildberries, vanilla and coconut.

Varietal: Cabernet franc
Country: Argentina
Region: Argentina


Love the story about the little girl - I was wondering who she was.
