Finca Decero Cabernet Sauvignon Remolinos Vineyard 2013
Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFinca Decero is a vineyard that was carved out of the landscape from ‘scratch’ or Decero as they say in Spanish. The philosophy is less is more, to allow the character of the 3500-foot-high Remolinos Vineyard in Agrelo shine. In this case ‘remolinos’ refers to the whirlwinds that keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition. There is a certain Napa feel this wine, in terms of roundness and richness. The nose is aromatic and stylish with concentrated, ripe, spicy blackberry fruit with just the right dusting of coffee. It finishes warm but not enough to bother. Prime rib or lamb would be a very tasty match.Tasted: 18 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | Everything Wine |
