Barrel Selection

2009 Patagonia Cabernet Sauvignon

The Fabre Montmayou Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2009 vintage is a stunning representation of Patagonian winemaking. This red wine showcases a full-bodied structure, complemented by high acidity that adds an invigorating brightness to each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with lush notes of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry leading the flavor profile, while subtle undertones of vanilla and toasted oak from barrel aging enhance its complexity. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a sturdy backbone that supports the wine's rich fruit character. This wine is dry, making it a versatile choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. The combination of its exceptional balance and depth makes the Fabre Montmayou Barrel Selection a delightful experience for any Cabernet Sauvignon enthusiast.

Argentina

Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.
