VINOUS REVIEW: The 2021 Red Blend comes from Campo de los Andes in the Uco Valley. It is a blend of 55% Malbec, 16% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, 70% aged in a third new oak barrels with the remainder going into steel tanks. A rich purple in hue. The nose presents a complex array of aromas ranging from plum and blackberry to violets, ash and oak. It's dry and juicy on the palate, with refined tannins and well-balanced acidity. Concentrated and long-lasting, the cool vintage brought an extra dimension.
JAMES SUCKLING REVIEW: #68 in Top 100 Wines of Argentina, 2024. A fresh and linear red with blackberries, blackcurrants and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, very polished and refined on the palate with a lively finish. Linear at the end. This has more cabernet franc than normal. Malbec, merlot, syrah, cabernet franc, petit verdot, and cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.
