From the bottle:\u00a0<\/p>\n
GAIA, the Greek goddess of the earth, has been the Bousquet family’s inspiration since founding our winery 1997 when we pioneered and cleared virgin land in the high reaches of Tupungato’s Gualtallary district. From the start, our Gaia wines have been crafted with a French winemaking sensibility and made from organic fruit grown at a cool 1,200-m\/4,000-ft altitude.
\nBrilliant sunshine and huge shifts in day-to-night temperatures combine to create a perfect marriage of Old and New World characteristics. GAIA Cabernet Franc is made from our best, hand-harvested fruit. This food-friendly wine offers ripe tannins with vibrantly fresh red berry fruit.
\nProduced and Bottled by Domaine Bousquet SA

The\u00a02018 Domaine Bousquet Gaia Cabernet Franc\u00a0begins with a pleasing, peppery aroma of dark fruit, cola, black pepper and just a bit of that signature Cabernet Franc green pepper (pyrazine).<\/p>\n
The wine tastes downright delicious. The super smooth wine features a really well done light oak touch as well as plenty of ripe and juicy dark fruit, elegant touches of spice and great balance in the mouth.<\/p>\n
It ends dry and long, with nice touches of black tea and even a bit of minerality under the lasting fruit. This is another really nice Cabernet Franc find from Argentina. It was just as good on day 2.<\/p>\n
This was also our favorite of the three Gaia wines we’ve reviewed, the others being the\u00a0Gaia Cabernet Sauvignon\u00a0and the\u00a0Gaia Red Blend.<\/p>\n
