Catena's San Carlos Cabernet Franc comes from vineyards at 3,900 feet in elevation. It's quite a daring effort, as they've allowed the natural freshness and herbaceous qualities of Cabernet Franc to shine through, giving the wine an elegance we rarely encounter in Argentina. This is about as far away as you can get from goopy, high-octane Mendoza Malbec, and it's a serious wine that offers way more complexity and food-friendliness than its modest price suggests.
