Finca Decero
Remolinos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Agrelo, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Tommy Hughes who is the Finca Decero Winemaker arranged a four course lunch with eight of his wines. It was an amazing afternoon.
On the nose, ripe; dark cherries, cherries, blue fruit, blackberries, black & plum, dust, vanilla, beautiful, fresh red flowers and violets.
On the palate; the body is full & bold. The tannins are firm and sticky. The fruits are ripe, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, cherries, strawberries as it opens, there is definitely dust and more of a presence than Rutherford, vanilla, touch of caramel, chocolate, dry crushed rock powder, very soft leather, just a hint of fresh tobacco and dark red florals for days. Acidity like a waterfall and a gorgeous, elegant, sexy, ripe, well balanced finish that lasts minutes.
Photos of, the restaurant terrace view from Finca Decero. The first course, Citrus infused Quinoa, Sun Dried Tomatoes, with melon Sorbet. It was delicious! My wine partner for over 15+ great years and a shot of all the wines for sale in their shop.

On the palate; the body is full. The tannins are dry, dusty and grippy. The fruits are ripe and juicy; blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries & strawberries. Some vanilla, light caramel, dust, dry crushed rocks, soft leather, dry tobacco, wonderful acidity and a ripe, elegant, beautifully polished finish.

A little spice and prickly quality but somehow manages to be both deep and medium bodied. I wouldn't say delicate, but surprisingly packed with flavor.

Fruit forward, high tannins, medium body, balanced acidity. Absolutely delicious with top sirloin steak. Long length.

This was a pleasant surprise of a wine find. Dark fruit forward bouquet with medium oaky cigar notes. It smacks of a licorice finish.. at least on Day 2/3 of drinking the same bottle. I would definitely get again and am intrigued to learn more about Mendoza cab sauvs.

I found it rather light bodied for a cab but very drinkable.
