Andes Grapes

Cuvelier Los Andes

Grand Vin Red Blend 2018

9.2

Beautiful Malbec leading blend. The aromatic nose shows ripe candied fruits (more blue than black), cocoa, warm spices, violet, and touches of mint and eucalyptus. Gentle and silky on the palate with good acidic backbone. Fine grained assertive tannins.
Give it another 4-5 years, but irresistible now.

Descendientes de José Palacios

Pétalos Bierzo Mencía 2020

Just love this wine! Nice blend of grapes from the Bierzo Valley, biodynamic. Deep Ruby with loads of Berry fruits aromas adding some sweet floral spice and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry with a juicy mineral edge. Well balanced and integrated with fine chalky tannins, lively acidity and a long finish ending with fruit and spicy notes. Tremendous value for such a complex wine. — 5 months ago

This white wine is sweet and floral on the nose, with light notes of apple, pear, and a hint of lemongrass. This white wine is not dry, and I enjoy that. — 8 months ago

Cuvelier Los Andes

Valle de Uco Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Silky smooth, with beautifully integrated tannins, complete with a long finish of peppery, meaty notes. Medium bodied, with a prominent mid palate of violets, dark red cherries and plums, with hints of fresh tobacco leaf and notes of fresh cut redwoods, even a little eucalyptus if you exhale right. Insane value for a lighter quality cab. — 8 months ago

Louis Latour

Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2022

All of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latour family are vinified and aged in the cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. The winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. Medium pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits with a slight nutty floral character. On the palate flavors of peach and melon with lemon citrus and savory notes. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, toasty oak and minerality. Nice! — 2 months ago

Allegrini

Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend 2018

I bought and drank a fair amount of Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre back in the late 1990s, and always enjoyed them. First time in the past 20 years, this seems a little softer and polished, a little lower ABV (13.5 vs. 14+ in earlier vintages), this is vinified using conventional fermentation as well as some ripasso fermentation (think Amarone drying grapes on straw mats), and has some very nice complexity and length, very nice!! — 7 months ago
