Brooding, firm, restrained.
Bordering on brooding, this earthy Cab delivers aromas of currents and cocoa, dried herbs and leather. It is more linear than plush, restrained fruit and firm dusty tannins describe the palate.

Brooding, muscular, supple.
Bordering on brooding, this extracted South American Cabernet doles out Ribena ad vanilla, chocolate-rich mocha, raspberry tea, leather, baking spices and vanilla with hints of pencil shavings. It has notable intensity and a supple weight, chewy yet silky tannins and oodles of generous fruit. It is hefty and muscular with an inky character.

Structure, youthful, concentrated.
From one of the oldest regions of Mendoza, Cruz de Piedra, this powerful Malbec comes from Mascota's finest vineyard, La Mascota.
Black cherry, black raspberry, dark cocoa and black licorice aromas are layered with roasted herbs, cedar, dried rose petals and espresso. It is a slick wine with salty undertones defined by wild berries, dark chocolate, coffee, dried herbs and spice flavours. Notable concentration and structure here, some time will soften the tannins.

Complete, slick, fleshy.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Cabernet Franc from old vines in the Uco Valley; the wine was aged 20 months in French oak and is housed is a arm-ripper of a heavy bottle with a gorgeous label.
Expect aromas of smoked cherries, wild plums, vanilla, baking spices, mocha and balsamic. Supple weight, generous and fleshy fruit with good acidity to add levity. The palate is glycerol and slickly woven with a delightfully long and elegant finish. A complete wine with all the structure and balance in check.

Intense aromas of spiced molten chocolate, black cherries and dusty plums layered with vanilla and baking spice. The palate has dusty cocoa tannins and coffee flavours rounded out with black fruit and toasted spice. A solid weekday red for grilled meats, hard cheeses and chili.
