Zorzal Eggo Franco Cabernet Franc, Tupungato, Argentina 2017 Pino 487 bottles producedThe 2017 Eggo Franco is pure Cabernet Franc cropped from seven year old vines on alluvial soils high in calcium carbonate. It fermented with 10% full clusters in concrete vats, where it matured with the full lees until bottling at the end of the year. It's very varietal, herbal and spicy, with good structure and body, great balance and power, with fine grained, chalky tannins. 93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
