Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom 50+ year old biodynamic vines in the Vistalba region, this cabernet sauvignon is splashed with 5 percent malbec and spent one year in oak (80 percent in French, with the remainder ??). No worry, because whatever they did works in the glass, with juicy blackcurrant, dark plum, black raspberry, charcoal dusted tannins and a flow of salted black liquorice, works. A cloud of black pepper lingers on the finish, pinching this off quickly, and calling out for asado.Tasted: 12 October 2017Tasted by: Prices:

Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaIf you are a fan of biodynamic wines, Kaiken Ultra certainly over-delivers for the price, from its savoury peppery nose to its chalky, dense, sweet, dusty tannins. The cabernet vines are 80 plus years and aged with a splash of malbec that all comes together in a savoury, umami delicious red that still has a bit of tannin to shed. Fun, juicy and elegant, it has a finesse you wouldn’t expect. Very good at five years but should be fine thorough 2020.Tasted: 07 April 2017Tasted by: Prices:
