A Best Buy |
| This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. TASTING NOTE: The cold vintage has done wonders with this wine from a vineyard in Los Arboles, 1,200 meters above sea level in the Tunuyán Department. It's planted on rocky riverbed soil - the kind of soil that cabernet clearly likes. This wine has herbal notes, red fruit everywhere you turn, and black fruit, too, as well as that spicy side so typical of the variety. And the tannins are firm and tense, yet docile at the same time. Very elegant and very fresh. Score - 95 (Patricio Tapia, Descorchados, 2019) |
