Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Dark black garnet, with deep ruby hues. Opens with wild herbs to an expansive core of black raspberry and strawberry accented by delicate cinnamon and dark chocolate. The palate shows clean slate-like minerality; chocolaty, pliable tannins an elegant acid backbone.

Professional Ratings

    A serious cabernet franc with structure and density as well as a mineral, spice character. Full body, round tannins and a pretty austere finish. Shows potential. Drink or hold.
  • 90
    The 2013 Cabernet Franc has strong herbal aromas and feels a little soapy, with some cracked pepper and earthy aromas that kept improving in the glass. The palate has grainy tannins and good acidity that transported me to Chinon, compact and balanced. One of the best Cabernet Francs in Mendoza.

Dario and Fabian have been friends since childhood, but only recently found out that their grandparents had grown up in the same small town of Riglos, Argentina. With the establishment of the Riglos brand, the pioneering spirit of two immigrant families, from Germany and Ireland respectively, is strengthened in partnership and commemorated in name. Sourced exclusively from their estate vineyard in the Valle de Uco region of Mendoza, the portfolio is comprised of three wines: a malbec, a cabernet sauvignon and a red blend, all styled to strike a balance between vivid varietal expression and elegant structure.

Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets. Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.

Uco Valley Wine

Mendoza, Argentina

View all products

With a winning combination of cool weather, high elevation and well-draining alluvial soils, it is no surprise that Mendoza’s Uco Valley is one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine regions in Argentina. Healthy, easy-to-manage vines produce low yields of high-quality fruit, which in turn create flavorful, full-bodied wines with generous acidity.

This is the source of some of the best Malbec in Mendoza, which can range from value-priced to ultra-premium. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay also perform well here.
