Marcelo Pelleriti's 2021 Cabernet Franc Signature is a distinguished red wine from Argentina's Uco Valley in Mendoza. Crafted by the acclaimed winemaker Marcelo Pelleriti, who has the notable achievement of receiving a perfect score from Robert Parker, this wine exemplifies his expertise and the region's unique terroir.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby hue with violet reflections. The aromatic profile is complex, featuring vibrant red and black fruits such as ripe raspberry, red currant, and blackberry, complemented by notes of wild herbs, crushed black pepper, and a subtle hint of graphite.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky texture, presenting fine-grained tannins that provide structure without overwhelming. Flavors of dark cherry, plum, and cocoa evolve over an earthy, mineral core, leading to a lingering finish with nuances of tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and a touch of cedar.
