El Enemigo Cabernet Franc
Wine Description
Adrianna Catena grew up drinking Old-World Bordeaux with her father. She will never forget the first time her dad received a shipment of wine from France and opened a bottle of Cheval Blanc for her.
Alejandro Vigil served Angelica Zapata Cabernet Franc at his wedding. It's as if both Alejandro and Adrianna were born with a taste for the peppery aromas, grainy tannins, and freshness of this variety.
