Marcelo Pelleriti Signature Cabernet Franc
This Cabernet Franc offers a truly rare and exhilarating wine experience. It's crafted by Marcelo Pelleriti, the only Argentine winemaker to achieve a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker for his work in Bordeaux, making this a spectacular find. This bottle translates that "Old World" finesse—with its complex herbal notes and mineral structure—to the powerful fruit of Mendoza's high-altitude Uco Valley. It feels less about sheer power and more about refined elegance, balancing deep dark fruit with a savory, chalky tension. It's a structured and captivating red that will reward you whether you open it tonight with a great steak or cellar it for years to come.
