Tasting Notes

Aromas of black fruit, saline minerality, subtle vanilla, and dark chocolate lead into layers of red currant, eucalyptus, and black pepper. Concentrated yet refined, the palate is juicy and silky with fine tannins, herbal lift, and a long, elegant finish.

Food Paring

Pair this polished red blend with grilled ribeye or herb-crusted lamb to complement its dark fruit and savory character. It also shines alongside roast poultry or venison, where its freshness and fine tannins bring balance to the plate.

Professional Reviews

97 James Suckling

"Sweet tobacco, cigar box, berries and minerals. It gets a little zesty and citrusy on the nose. Really refined and juicy on the palate with lot of fine tannins. Silky, fluid and linear with a very elegant, soft-spoken finish. 46% cabernet sauvignon from Adrianna vineyard and 44% malbec and 10% cabernet franc from Nicasia vineyard. Really refined, long and Bordelais. This is already drinking really well, but it will hold like this for a long time."

96 Decanter

"Great poise and definition in this bright 2021 with less Cabernet Franc (10%) than in previous vintages and more Malbec (44%). This make up comes through in the moreish herbal notes (thyme, oregano, rocket) that outline the blackcurrant and blackberry fruit. Underneath, a juicy fluidity brings in freshness and ease throughout."

Mendoza wines are known for ripe fruit flavors, concentration, and balanced acidity.

Argentina is South America’s largest wine producer and is especially known for Malbec. Vineyards are often planted at high altitudes near the Andes Mountains, resulting in intense flavors and natural acidity. Mendoza is the country’s most important wine region. Argentine wines combine old-world traditions with modern techniques.
