Mendoza, ArgentinaFelino is made with a mix of fruit from the Valle de Uco and Lujan de Cuyo, aged in American oak for eight months. The nose and palate open with soft black, juicy plum streaked with licorice, cocoa, black pepper, and smoky, dense sweet tannins. A summer barbecue red, if ever there was one, you can serve it with burgers or steaks or the way they do in Argentina with beef or chicken empanadas. Again, hedonistic and unapologetic.Tasted: 23 March 2022Tasted by: Prices:
Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom high altitude vineyards in Valle de Uco and Lujan de Cuyo, this was partially native fermented in stainless before resting in American oak (10% new) for 8 months. It was bottled unfined. Grilled meats, smoked stone start on the nose and carry through the medium bodied palate, infiltrating black plum, dark cherry, and peppery spices. Tannins are well in check with the fruit, and this is quite smart now with a decant and a piece of grilled beef or pork.Tasted: 03 May 2022Tasted by: Prices:
