TASTING NOTE: 'Antucura' translates to 'Sun Stone' in Mapudungun, the language of the Uco Valley's first inhabitants, and is a nod to the glacial boulders and stones so abundant in the Flores district. The conditions here are ideal for Bordeaux varietals. Smooth and rich, the 2013 Cabernet offers rich cassis, cherry, blackberry, pepper spice and some tarry notes. (VINTAGES panel, March 2014) |
