The most interesting thing about this wine is that you don’t see it coming. It’s not at all obvious and yet it’s a relative of the great Cabs from the Napa Valley combined with the sun-kissed heritage of Mendoza. Aged for 18 months, 26% in new French oak, this is a deep red in the glass. The nose begins with subtle notes of violet, mint and pepper before delivering a masterclass in black currant, accompanied by aromas of roasted red pepper, cinnamon and cedar. The feel is gentle with plenty of energy, fine tannins and shapely, contained acidity. A powerful, precise, nuanced red. ... More details

Smooth berry aromas are ripe and deep, with accents of vanilla, marzipan and prune. A full-bodied palate weighs in as soft, while this tastes woody as well as jammy and a touch raisiny. Sappy berry flavors of prune and baked blackberry linger on a hefty finish. Drink through 2025.
Wine Spectator
Lushly spiced, with concentrated cardamom and vanilla bean notes to the dark cherry and plum flavors. Chocolate mousse details show on the finish. Drink now. 4,500 cases made, 900 cases imported.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

For most of us, when we look for red wines in a wine store or supermarket, the name Cabernet Sauvignon stands out as a mark of quality and reliability. The same can be said for the way those who cultivate the grapevines see them, too, as part of the reason Cabernet Sauvignon varietal grapes have had so much success all over the world is due to their hardiness against frost, reliability in regards to yield and quality, and great resistance to rot. As such, Cabernet Sauvignon is a winemaker's dream of a grape, consistently delivering excellence alongside a few pleasant surprises. Despite the fact that the grape on its own in a young wine can often be a bit overpowering, too astringent and challenging for many tastes, it is the perfect grape varietal for blending and aging in oak. Such a truth has been displayed for centuries now in some of the finest wineries on earth, for whom Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are the grape which adds the punch to their world-beating blended wines.

Region: Cuyo

Argentina's Cuyo region has, for several decades now, been renowned worldwide for the high quality of its fruit-forward and remarkably flavorful wines. The arid region includes such famous provinces as the Mendoza, and wineries in Cuyo often have generations of experience when it comes to making the most of the mineral rich yet arid soils which typify the mountainous landscape. The Desaguadero River and its tributaries form many natural valleys through the Cuyo region, and as such, irrigation has long since provided the dry and dusty vineyard with a fertile and crystal-clear water source, straight from the snowy peaks of the nearby Andes. Although Malbec is the grape varietal most commonly associated with Cuyo, wineries continue to experiment with other varietals there, and the wine industry of Cuyo in Argentina continues to go from strength to strength.

Country: Argentina

In the dry, arid deserts of Argentina, wineries and winemakers are focusing their efforts on producing high quality wines for the world market. By experimenting with both traditional and modern methods and technologies, they have found great success with a wide variety of grapes well suited to the conditions of the country, particularly Malbec, Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the past decade, Argentinian wineries have continued to aim high, and this has led to a range of new wines using grape varietals not typically associated with the country. The cooler regions of Argentina are seeing more vineyards being planted with Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir varietals, something that is beginning to produce fantastic results, which are at once representative of the country's wines - with all their fruity and bold character - but are also pushing the boundaries of what we expect from a New World country.
