Mendoza, ArgentinaThe High Mountain Vines tips us off to the freshness to be found here, which works to carry the sunned red fruits and leathered mid along a lengthy palate. Sourced from four vineyards ranging from 920m - 1450m, and across various soil types, this carries cherries, wild raspberries, dark cocoa dusted tannins along a stream of acidity to a satisfyingly lingering, smokey finish. This vintage has really opened up, though still benefits from a decant.Tasted: 08 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Mendoza, ArgentinaThis wine continues to improve each year, showing less oak and more terroir, which is never easy when production is large. Look for a floral red fruit nose: always a good sign someone is paying attention in the vineyard and winery. The nose and palate are all violets and plums with some round, rich, textures from back to front. Juicy but solid, the acid works effortlessly to keep the flavours well framed in a cool year. Steak anyone?Tasted: 28 September 2017Tasted by: Prices:
