2022 Altocedro Cabernet Sauvignon "Reserva", Mendoza, Argentina
Dark fruit of plum, blackberry, blueberry and
black cherry on the nose and palate mated with an equal amount of earthy minerality, anise, leather, tobacco and a meaty viscosity you can chew on. Acidity kicks in mid-way with a long, dry finish. An excellent pairing for lamb or red meat
There are 16 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from one of the coolest areas of the valley, El Cepillo (La Consulta, Uco Valley), which allows us to express its classic and traditional varietal typicity, displaying more of its savory side. In addition to its complexity provided by the fermentation in small concrete vats and the aging 18 months in French oak barrels.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Altocedro is synonymous with outstanding La Consulta wine. Original old vine rootstocks, indigenous yeasts, hundred year-old concrete fermentation tanks, and Karim’s minimalist winemaking create true terroir-driven wines.
