Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This hand harvested, single vineyard wine from Gualtallary is composed of 100% hand harvested Cabernet Franc,. This unique wine is completely fermented and aged in a large concrete egg and sees no oak. This subtle and nuanced wine shows soft plush tannins with raspberries, ripe black currant and an underlying chalk driven finish. Fresh wet soil, hazel nuts, figs, and savory spice dominate this earth driven wine. The Eggo wines showcase the perfect combination of a chalky, terroir driven wine, with vibrant fruit and a long smooth finish.

Professional Ratings

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I love the Eggo range, and the 2019 Eggo Franco is also superb. It was produced with Cabernet Franc and shows varietal character but with the elegance and precision of the Eggo wines, matured exclusively in concrete eggs. It's spicy, herbal, floral and perfumed, with fine tannins and great balance.
92 James Suckling
This has a savory nose of currants, olives, herbs and tobacco. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Dark-spice and herb notes follow through to a concentrated, focused finish. Drink from 2022.

Cabernet Franc Wine

Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets. Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.

Uco Valley Wine

Mendoza, Argentina

View all products

With a winning combination of cool weather, high elevation and well-draining alluvial soils, it is no surprise that Mendoza’s Uco Valley is one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine regions in Argentina. Healthy, easy-to-manage vines produce low yields of high-quality fruit, which in turn create flavorful, full-bodied wines with generous acidity.

This is the source of some of the best Malbec in Mendoza, which can range from value-priced to ultra-premium. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay also perform well here.
