Release Notes:

Price : $9.50  Qty:  Item No. : 14130  Our Rating : 91+  Country : Argentina  Region : Mendoza  Grape : Malbec Cabernet  Sauvignon  Alcohol : 13.5%

Grown in stony vineyards at 1000 meters elevation in the arid Uco Valley, the warm, sunny days and cool nights ensure a long growing season allowing the grapes to ripen fully. A portion of the wine was aged in American and French oak barrels before being blended with a small amount (5%) of Cabernet Sauvignon for structure.

Tasting Notes:

A brilliant plum red wine with attractive aromas of ripe berry fruit and a hint of spice, coffee, tobacco and raisin. On the palate, this wine is full of raspberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant fruit and concentrated oak and spice notes. A smooth, structured wine with a long finish. Enjoy with red meats, steak, lamb, boar, duck, and strong cheeses now to 2011.
