Label: Seventy kilometers away from the city of Mendoza, at the Andes foothills, lays one of the best kept secrets from the valley, that we now call The Gouguenheim Winery. With its vineyards located at more than 1000 m.a.s.l this unique terrior combines nature exceptional wonders and the art and craftsmanship of our professionals, who helped us define these great varietals for Estaciones del Valle. A secret that reveals itself in this bottle that we now share with you.
Review: Dear diary I woke up angry today. For I have had the Worst Malbec Ever! The only thing nice about this bottle is the sound it makes as you dump it down the drain. The bouquet is an awkward dusty strawberry nerds candy, mint leaf, brown sugar, shredded tires, burned orange peel and Windex combination. I gagged a little when it hit my palate. Flavors of Smokey charcoal, burned electrical wiring with asparagus juice. When you think it couldn't get any worse you are left with this undesirable vitamin C meets gritty beach sand on the finish. There is a reason this is the valleys best keep secret, it Sucks

Label: In this most promising new wine-growing region we are leaders in unraveling the mysteries of vineyard microclimates and viticultural practices. I have made Cabernet in Washington State for over twenty five years and believe the careful selection of superior grapes, experience, and winemaking skill combine to showcase the extraordinary fruit found in this bottle.
Review: Dark purple color. If you were eating blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream and knocked it over into the dirt then scooped it back up and held it to your nose that’s what this smells like. Flavors of blueberries, vanilla, oak and top soil on the palate. Pickup a little black tea on the finish. The finish dies on you quickly which is a little disappointing. I like their Merlot more.

Label: Once found almost exclusively in the Northern Rhone area, this unique white varietal is growing in acceptance and prestige in the United States. Known for its aromatic qualities and moderate acidity. viognier is the white counterpart to Syrah at Bridlewood Estate winery. Bridlewood's commitment to Rhone varietals make our Viognier a must try.
Review: Pale straw yellow color. Aromas of nectarine and honeysuckle meets playskool play-doh. Flavors of white raisins and tangerines on the palate. Lemon meringue pie, banana nut bread and Bombay sapphire martini on the finish.
