A single vineyard (finca las divas) blend from Gualtallary in Tupungato Departament, Uco Valley, Mendoza with 70% malbec, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5 % Cabernet Franc.
A nicely complex red with bunches of red and black cherries quite delicate and fine and at thr same time ripe and sweet. Very good acidity and alcohol with fine oak too. Not dominant for sure. The palate is realy attractive and balanced. A mature red yet probably best at 6-8 years old. A 94 point red now and surely a couple of years ahead. Great value and only subtly more complex than its Gran Malbec and Gran Cabernet brothers. One of the top ten Arg reds to my palate.
