A wonderful Cab from Agrelo (Lujan de Cuyo) ; Tupungato (Uco Valley), Mendoza.
Impressive balance and attractiveness. Black currants and cherries, ripe and sweet. Not overexpressed. Close to Barossa in the backbone but more acid and firm. Close to Central Valley, Chile but less oaky in winery style. This is a premium level red so you won´t find much concentration and complexity. Even so we talk about an 89 point Cab best close to 3-4 years old from vintage. A great,great value.
This is one of those wines to testify the deeper and better reach and beauty of a fully expressed Cabernet than Malbec in Argentina (sorry!).
