Top Notes For

One of the top wines for me at the Andes tasting, fresh, concentrated and pure. This is hedonistic on most wine people's scales, though if you think before you just taste and keep thinking through the finish this wine has breadth on a long scale and good acidity. Lead pencil, cherry, violet flowers, scorched Graves like earth. The palate is full bodied as is the finish which sails and fans out and closes out nicely with an good rush of acid.

This is often considered Mendoza's finest wine, if not it's most expensive. We probably opened this 10 years too soon.This big, bold and brilliant. Blackberry plum pie gives way to herbs and peppercorns, dash of vanilla bean with chocolate nibs, smooth tannins.
