About This Wine

Casarena

Red

Awarded 92 points by Wine & Spirits magazine, the Casarena 2014 Estate Sinco Red is an enticing and seductive wine that showcases the terroir of Argentina. Master winemaker Michele Rolland is known for his dedication to place, and for the Casarena he joined with native growers in Lujan de Cuyo to capture the true tastes of the high altitude vineyards. His resulting wine is dark violet and has vivid notes of sweet spice and dark fruits that play across the palate. With complex minerality and a long finish, this wine pairs perfectly with stronger flavors like blue cheese, earthy mushrooms, or cumin. This is a perfect wine to begin exploring the beautiful wines of Mendoza, Argentina.

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.
