"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Bramare Luján de Cuyo was aged for 18 months in 25% new barrels, the rest in used. A dusky, garnet red in the glass. The nuanced nose is led by pyrazines followed by blackcurrant, blackberry and ash with camphor and potent spice notes. Intense and juicy with a slick feel, the flavors develop clearly at the back of the mouth along with a good body and plenty of subtle, measured details." 

James Suckling, 93 Points 

"This is a firm, chewy cabernet with lots of tannins and toasted oak to the currant and oyster-shell character. Tobacco, too. Medium-to full-bodied. Needs time to soften. Better after 2022." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"Well-structured, with crunchy acidity and firm tannins supporting the concentrated cherry paste and plum flavors. There's a savory snap in the midpalate, offering licorice and wild spice notes on the zesty finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Ruby red color with dark tones. Vibrant aromas of dark and blue fruit, sweet spices and red grilled pepper. On the palate, the wine is juicy with tight tannins, a great mid palate and a long finish." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
