- Exhibits a restrained nose with balsamic notes, black fruit, some peat (soil) and smoke. The medium-bodied palate is quite fresh with fine tannins, delineated flavors and a balsamic aftertaste. A great Malbec at a super price.
- The latest Pinot Noir releases from this young bodega confirm its promise as one of the best producers in Patagonia. This Chañar-sourced red is silky, sweet and well balanced, with red cherry fruit complemented by texture from old oak ageing.
- The name tells you what you need to know about the iron-rich soils, but not about the corresponding structure of the wine. Dense and concentrated, this is like a mini-Pommard in some respects, with muscular tannins, a touch of reduction and rich, flavorsome fruit. A label to watch if you’re a Pinot-phile.
- Outstanding aromas and flavors of citrus, key lime, and minerals. Very complex with excellent depth and clarity. Steely and fresh. 12 months fine lees aging.
