Region: Uco Valley, Argentina
Varietal: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes: This great three-variety blend shows an intense ruby color with exquisite purple and blackish hues. In the nose, intense and fresh red and black fruit aromas are interlaced with spice notes that reminiscence of thyme and black pepper, as well as with the typical minerality that the Chacayes terroir brings about. All this feels impeccably balanced with the subtle chocolate and vanilla notes contributed by its French Oak aging, thus resulting in a complex and seductive wine. In the mouth, its structure as well as its broad palate are evidenced, along with the equilibrium among its four varieties: the “sweet” sensation the Malbec brings about, as well as the fine, balanced tannins from the Merlot, and the potency that comes from the Cabernet Sauvignon. This ensemble provides complexity to this wine, which will in turn have a superb evolution and a substantial aging potential.
