Mendoza, ArgentinaExpect fragrant aromas of ripe red fruits, led by plums and cherries, with a floral undercurrent. The palate opens earthy and dry, full of wild berry, spices, and finishing fresh. The wine spent 10 months in French oak barrels, and fruit comes from 4 Mendoza vineyard sites: Las Compuertas and La Consulta, with vines more than 100 years old and planted in deep clay/loam soils; Vistaflores, with sandy-loam soils covered by calcareous rocks; and the estate vineyard located in El Cepillo, an area with a rocky surface rich in calcium carbonate and a sandy loam texture.Tasted: 29 March 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $45.00 | 750ml | select private retailers |
