About This Wine


Andás

Sweet Style Merlot

From the high elevation vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina comes the new vintage of our award-winning Andás Merlot. This wine offers sharp textures, fruit-forward flavors, and a hint of mint-like freshness. The towering peaks of the Andes Mountains evoke a sense of wonder and exploration. It is the passion of our Argentinian winemaking partners to convey this unique and memorable feeling through the region’s wines. Our 2021 Merlot is fruit forward and approachable, making it appealing to both the first-time South American wine explorer and seasoned traveler. Allow your palate to escape to the picturesque, sunbaked summits of Mendoza as you unwind after a long day. Serve this wine at room temperature on its own or paired with glazed meats and salty cheeses. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Chocolate tasting note. Chocolate

Refreshing spearmint aromas awaken the senses. The mouthfeel is tighter and more textural than a riper California-style Merlot, showcasing moderate tannins balanced with mild acidity. Freshly picked blueberry flavors join sweet dark chocolate on the palate for a lingering finish.
