Terrazas De Los Andes Grand Cabernet Sauvignon 2017-750ML

Argentina - Red Wine

Deep garnet red color. Aromatic, layered and complex. It reveals red fruit aromas such as sour cherry and pomegranate, spicy notes and on the finish, fresh aromatic herbs.Intense and tight. It displays perfect acidity and a long, elegant, balanced finish.The Cabernet Sauvignon from the gravely and loamy soil of Los Aromos vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo reveals black fruit notes, such as blackcurrant, the company says, while the rocky terroir of El Pedregal in the Uco Valley imbues wines with fire-roasted red pepper and hints of mint. Winemaker Notes: Terrazas de los Andes Grand Cabernet Sauvignon is our fullest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is the result of blending wines from selected plots of two of our most exceptional high-altitude vineyards, offering a diversity of elevations and soils that bring breadth and complexity to the final creation. Critical Acclaim: 95 points - Stephen Tanzer "Bright medium ruby. Animated aromas of cassis, dark raspberry, licorice, crushed rock and graphite, plus a note of musky espresso. Utterly seamless, pliant and deep, with strong minerality and a gravelly note contributing inner-mouth aromatic lift. This wine is balanced from the start but has the savory minerality, sweetness of fruit and sheer concentration to age slowly and well. The rising, palate-saturating finish shows an element of medicinal reserve and strong chalky minerality but no rough edges. This extraordinary young Argentine Cabernet boasts terrific juiciness and grip, and perhaps a bit more sweetness than the Grand Malbec. Technical director Philippe Moureau noted that the single-parcel wines are intended as faithful expressions of exceptional single sites but that the "Grand" series, made for the first time in vintage 2017, represents 'the fullest expression of each variety--the result of combining various facets from different great terroirs'."
