Alcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: May 16th, 2018
Tasting Notes: A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc sourced from 3 of the winery's high elevation vineyards in different sub-regions of Mendoza: each lot selected for what it can bring out in the finished wine. In terms of relatability, think the concentration of California (sans the over-extraction) meets the finesse of the Haut-Médoc. Nice balance between familiar cassis and black fruit characters and layers of savoury notes on the nose and palate; cocoa, herbs and smooth oak. Ready to go now with a long decant, though, best in another 1-2 years. Drink 2020-2025.
