James Suckling, 91 Points 

"This has a spicy, perfumed nose of dark fruit, pine cones, licorice, nutmeg and sandalwood. Olives and grilled meat, too. Medium-to full-bodied with sleek, sinewy tannins. Meaty and spicy palate. Drink or hold." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This complex, yet well-balanced, wine presents an elegant style with hints of ripe plums and raspberry fruit. Gentle tannins and slightly toasted oak, spice and chocolate on the palate move to a long, lingering, focused finish."

About the Wine:

Made from 100% estate grown fruit. Grapes are harvested from the Barrancas Vineyard in the Maipú, region of Mendoza. Maceration is conducted over two days at 46.4° F. The wine is seeded with selected yeasts and ferments at 77- 82.4° F for 10 days. To finish this process, after malolactic fermentation, 100% of the wine is aged in American oak for eight months. It remains in bottle four months prior to release date.

Alcohol: 14%
