TintoNegro Finca La Escuela 2014
Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaTintoNegro is a join venture between former Catena colleagues: winemaker Alejandro Sejanovich and marketer Jeff Mausbach. La Escuela is a single vineyard wine made from young vines in the acclaimed Paraje Altamira district of the San Carlos county in the Uco valley, located at some 4,000’ elevation. The nose is similar to the Limestone Block label, meaty and a touch reductive, but there is more fruit here and a richer, albeit softer tannin structure. Black plums, cherries, and licorice predominate the palate with a tug of tannins and sweet balsamic in a pleasant 13.5 degrees finish. Quite youthful and currently in need of some grilled beef. The wine takes its name from the rural school (Escuela) located on the property. TintoNegro actively supports the school through regular donations and scholarships, furthering the education of rural vineyard families.Tasted: 29 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $45.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
