Winemaker Notes

Ruby red with purple highlights and good intensity. A nose mainly of black cherries, prunes, gooseberryies, blackberries, and spices. Full-bodied, rich, and balanced with fine tannins. A long and persistent finish.

Professional Ratings

    For Sebastián Zuccardi, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva, also sourced from the Valle de Uco, is the best after a couple of difficult harvests for the grape (2014 and 2015). They have also done some changes, as they used to pick Cabernet when they had finished Malbec, but they don't do that anymore. They are probably picked in parallel, avoiding the very ripe profile of late-harvested Cabernet. There is always some Malbec cofermented with the Cabernet grapes here to avoid the tannic profile of Cabernet, as Malbec has a higher liquid to skin ratio, making it more fluid and drinkable.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Mendoza Wine

Argentina

View all products

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
