The long awaited third release of our Argentinian blend is here. AR-5 is comprised primarily of Malbec, with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the mix.
The unique climate of the Uco Valley in Mendoza produces Malbec with concentrated berries that reflect the brilliance, depth, and intensity of the neighboring Andes themselves. The Cabernet Sauvignon increases complexity and adds dimension, bringing the blend around full circle.
Despite the twenty-four-hour trip to get there, and the logistics involved with getting the wine here, it’s wholly worth the effort to partake in this gripping endeavor.
Garnet in the glass, the wine exudes aromas of brambly boysenberry complimented by hints of antique rosewood and lavender. Immediately, the wine presents a rich entry of ripe red currant, hints of dark berries, and subtle minerality which transitions into an elegant and lingering finish of thyme and sage.
