Barrancas Maipu Mendoza Garnacha

What a nose - smoked meat and burning campfire

Such an intensely light colored wine, you would have no idea what’s in store - packed full with flavor from beginning to end - a wave of Pinot like acidity hits first, then opens with brighter alpine fruit, some tangelo and kiwi skin. Expressive finish as well with a lingering, longing fruit leather like ride.

This producer has been very delightful so far.

Bought at Berkeley college wine shop. Amazing Malbec? Mourvèdre? From Argentina

Much more fruit forward than a standard grenache. CO2 treated early on in the process to maintain fruit structure. Incredible wine for the price.

Light and crushable. Slightly tart, slightly tannic. Nice with a bit of a chill.

Delicious bang for the buck. Juicy red fruit, light tannins, delicate body and acidity. Very fragrant and light bodied with an aromatic and supple finish.

Light red berry bright juicy floral acidic. Caleb doesn’t like this as much. Would rate 7.5

Delicate flavor but good structure and tannins.

Beautiful Argentinean Garnacha, high acidity and elegant palate. Estilo Pinot Noir
