SALENTEIN |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Fairly intense, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, spicy, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, high acid, gently cedary, very faintly herbal finish. Better than the 2013 (**) released on December 12, 2015 at $17.95. TONY ASPLER / 88-points / TRY - Cedary plum bouquet with a light oak note; full-bodied, dry, fresh and lively plum flavour with a firm tannic finish. |

A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection! |
| This is sourced from vineyards located at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,700 metres, in which the grapes enjoy excellent sunshine and cool temperatures that allow them to ripen evenly and fully. Salentein seeks to craft a wine that will exhibit tremendous purity of fruit, and maintain the freshness and crispness provided by the high altitude. You can expect this 2014 example to be a fruit-driven delight. Tim Atkin, MW, awarded this wine a rating of 92 points in his 2016 Argentina Report. |
