Made with grapes from a selection of vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and aged for 12 months in French barrels, this is a textbook wine for the region. Deep purplish red in the glass. The nose presents notes of prune, sour cherry, jam, chocolate and rum cake along with white pepper, woody notes and a whiff of mint. Fleshy and voluminous on the palate, it has a juicy freshness and muscular, gentle tannins, all precisely calibrated, followed by a lengthy, flavorful finish. A classic wine.

A structured red, with fine-grained tannins backing the mincemeat and dried berry flavors. Notes of paprika midpalate lead to cigar box accents on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 60,000 cases made, 8,109 cases imported.
