Bodegas URQO is a boutique winery in Mendoza, Argentina, producing elegant and stylish wines that have caught the eye of two top critics in South America: James Suckling and Joaquín Hidalgo from Vinous Media. Their Palo Santo label is a special project from Finca Algarrobos in Gualtallary and Finca El Mirador in Chacayes, where the soil, altitude, and climate come together to create the perfect growing environment for Cabernet Franc. With the Andes Mountains protecting the vineyards to the west, the combination of the warm, sunny days and cool nights produces an elegant, ripe wine that rivals some of the best in the world. Ripe berries, licorice, violets and brown spice give this wine amazing energy, with a lush mid-palate and serious tannins on the finish. If you can steer yourself away from your favorite Bordeaux, you will be richly rewarded!
"The 2022 Cabernet Franc Palo Santo from the Uco Valley has a pure, fruity nose of fresh cherry, plum and hints of herb with gentle pyrazine and black tea notes. Compact with a fruity expression, juicy flow and firm, refined tannins, the fruit returns at the end with a layer of ash. The 2022 is a rewarding wine." Vinous Media, 91 Points
"A firm and chewy cabernet franc with aromas of currants, baked plums, thyme and chili chocolate. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and grainy tannins. Better in 2024." James Suckling, 90 Points
