Scores: 96 pts - Robert Parker

Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Chacayes 2020 is an exceptional Cabernet Franc-based blend produced by Bodega Aleanna (El Enemigo), created by Adrianna Catena and master winemaker Alejandro Vigil. Sourced from the rocky, alluvial soils of Los Chacayes in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, this high-altitude wine reflects intense concentration, remarkable freshness, and deep terroir expression.

"Displaying a deep ruby color in the glass, the nose opens with great elegance and complexity, revealing aromas of black currant, blueberry, violet, liquorice, and distinct mineral undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied, dense, and energetic with a well-defined character, offering a saline and fruity profile balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish."
