Drew's Tasting Note

A deep, rich Cabernet that needs time to breathe and is worth decanting if you can. Red fruits, leather and earthy aromas on the nose. On the palate are strawberry, blueberry and blackcurrant flavours, with sweet peppers, dark chocolate and a hint of soft vanilla oak. Tremendous length.

Producer: Mauricio Lorca | Vintage: 2017 | From: Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina | Alcohol: 14.0 | Style: full-bodied red, still, vegan | Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon
