Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaExpect a sophisticated, cool, spicy nose with rich, floral undertones. The nose has interesting spicy and floral notes with the welcomed restraint of a cool year. The black and blue fruit is juicy and silky with bright acidity and typical peppery, dried wild herbs and licorice. Not a keeper in 2015, but damned delicious now and a stylish red for creamy cheeses. Incredible value in Ontario and Alberta. The fruit comes from three important Uco Valley vineyards: Vista Flores at 1,400 m; Gualtallary at 1,300 m; and Altamira at 1,100 m. Despite variations in altitude and location the soil type is predominately alluvial soil with bits of sand and silt on top of very rocky layers that provide excellent drainage and ideal conditions to grow highly concentrated grapes.Tasted: 29 May 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaKaiken Ultra is from Las Rocas vineyard, named for the countless small rocks that speckle the vineyards. The vineyards are in the process of converting to certified biodynamics. The fruit here is coming from three Uco Valley vineyards: Vista Flores at 1,400 m; Gualtallary at 1,300 m; and Altamira at 1,100 m. This was fermented and macerated for a month before one year in French barrels, one third new. Thick, dense and intense with potent blackberry, ripe blueberry, anise and medicinal cherry, this full bodied wine has plush tannins that hug this to the sweet and warming baking spice finish. A big, fleshy red drinking well now, and best matched with big proteins that can take on its 14.5 declared degrees.Tasted: 21 March 2019Tasted by: Prices:
