A gorgeous Malbec made from 38-year-old vines with a nose of blackberry, blackcurrants, violets, plums, exotic spices and toasty oak vanilla. An interesting wine in the mouth, with fully integrated dark and red fruits that are bold and expressive on the palate and lifted by bright acidity.
Multi-layered, complex, floral and elegant. Full flavours of bright plum, berry and spice with liquorice and a gorgeous mouthfeel that leads to a long, luxurious finish. Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Tannat. Firm enough for grilled bison, but elegant enough for grilled chicken.
From the Catena Zapata family of wines; look for blackberry, espresso, toasted oak and an interesting lean and minty note on the nose. This is a juicy Cab, but not flabby at all, with delicious cherry, raspberry and currants to go with deliciously integrated spices and plenty of racy acidity. Serve with grilled steaks.
A nose of ripe raspberry, oak-spice, mineral, violets and red plums. The red fruits are on full display in the mouth, with spice and vibrant acidity woven in. It has fine texture and balance through the finish and notes of tar and espresso bean.
This Cab has a beautiful nose of currants, blackberry, cedar and spice. It’s juicy on the palate with savoury and vibrant red and dark fruits that persist through the finish. Very tasty and a steal at this price.
It’s so nice to see different varieties being attempted in Argentina, especially from the cooler regions such as the high-elevation Uco Valley. This Pinot is quite earthy on the nose, with expressive black cherry, tobacco leaf and spice. The red fruits on the palate are delivered on a silky-smooth frame with notes of cedar and a hint of pepper.
A sleek nose of concentrated cherry-blueberry, earth, baking spices and oak. A very nice blend of Malbec, Syrah and Bonarda for the price with rich red fruits, currants, blueberry and sweet spices that are soft and juicy through the finish.
