Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard 2019

The layered and complex 2019 Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard has an expressive nose with a mixture of curry, nutmeg, aromatic herbs and dried flowers, perfumed and expressive. The vineyard was planted in 2000 with Cabernet Franc and some 15% Malbec that fermented in concrete and a 2,000-liter oak vat with indigenous yeasts and with 50% full clusters. This bottling is always very distinct, with incredible aromatics, a medium to full-bodied palate, 13.5% alcohol and very good freshness. It's vibrant and finishes dry and with a salty twist. 7,200 bottles were filled in July 2020.

A very mineral and deliciously austere cabernet franc that shows transparency and great tension. Seaweed, iodine, pu-er tea, oyster shells, garrigues, black pepper and wet stones. Subtle fruit here, but quite mineral! Incredible texture with powdery tannins. Super characterful! Drink or hold.

Licorice and strawberry aromas are very subtle on the nose. This is a wine with nerve and texture. It's vertical and has vigorous acidity driving ripe red plums, green bell pepper and tobacco through the finish. Delicious to drink now, it will only get better with time.
