The 2023 El Enemigo Cabernet Franc is a red wine from Mendoza, Argentina, produced by winemaker Alejandro Vigil. The blend is 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Malbec. Planted at 1,470 meters (4,822 ft) elevation in deep, rocky, calcareous limestone soils. Aged for 15 months in a mix of foudres, barrels, and concrete/stainless steel. Features high natural acidity, vibrant structure, and lower alcohol levels due to cool high-altitude conditions.

Ruby red in color with soft violet tones. Aromas of concentrated notes of cassis, ripe currants, juicy plums, raspberries, black pepper, clove, tobacco leaves, and subtle mountain herbs. Medium-bodied with a fresh impact, juicy fruit core, silky texture, fine-grained/chalky tannins, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish.

Pairs well with grilled game meats, smoky barbecue, herb-roasted pork, or eggplant parmesan.

Jeb Dunnuck (95 Points): Calls it an "outstanding vintage" that is expertly balanced and high-toned. It is noted for red berry fruit, peppercorn complexity, and a polished, cohesive structure from start to finish.

James Suckling (93 Points): Focuses on its deliciously fruity, sappy profile, noting aromas of ripe black cherries, currants, tobacco, dark olives, and fine, linear tannins.
