What Critics Think
Wine Advocate : 93 Points
(11/30/2022) The peppery, spicy and elegant 2021 Appellation San Carlos Cabernet Franc is fresh, varietal, nuanced and complex while keeping the alcohol to a moderate 13.6%, which makes it attractive and easy to drink, with nice balance and very fine tannins. I usually like the precision and symmetry in this lively wine that has a velvety mouthfeel. 96,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. Drink Date: 2023 - 2028.
Vinous - Joaquin Hidalgo : 92 Points
(9/2022) The 2021 Cabernet Franc Catena Appellation San Carlos spent eight months in a third new barrels. Garnet red in hue. The aromas feature ash, hints of bell pepper, jalapeño, jam and chutney. It's well put together on the palate with a compact, slightly unctuous flow that lingers at its leisure. The finish is a repeat of the nose. Drinking Window 2022 - 2030.
