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 Plum tasting note. Plum
  • A figure representing the Oak tasting note. Oak
  • A figure representing the Blackberry tasting note. Blackberry

Deep red color with hints of purple. Expressive on the nose with notes of ripe black fruits, violets, and tobacco. Attractive spicy oak overlaid across rich dark-plum and blackberry aromas. The palate has a very succulent array of fleshy dark-plum and berry flavors, the wood integrated well. Long finish.
