October 23, 2015 - 2015 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/19/2015-10/27/2015 (New York City, NY): This limited cuvée is a blend of 84% Cabenet Sauvignon and 16% Malbec from high-altitude vineyards in the Chañar Punco subregion of the Calchaquí Valley. Aged for 18 months in new French oak, it is a full-bodied, inky wine effusive of dark chocolate, cassis, black cherries, graphite and licorice on both the nose and palate. Freshly acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 15%), it flashes some creamy oak on the mid-palate, but the oak serves as an accent and is not excessive. Plump in the middle and flexing some tannic muscle, it subsequently closes with good length. This well-made wine will benefit from cellaring. Drink 2018-2028.
