About This Wine

Impress

Red

Sourced entirely from a single vineyard in the Uco Valley, where the cold nights and altitude produce grapes of unparalleled intensity, this powerful Elevation Red is a unlike anything you've ever tasted before. Made by a winemaking team that includes both the first permanent winemaker at the world-famous Chateau Petrus (whose wines often sell for over $3,000) and an industry legend with over 30 years of winemaking expertise, the ruby Red Impress is the perfect steak wine with a smooth finish that will delight you down to the last drop.

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.
