If your looking for something special from South America, look no further.
The winning combination here is Bodegas Salentein’s unswerving commitment to making world standard wines, José Galante’s winemaking ability and the Uco Valley’s unique conditions, considered by many to be the finest site for growing grapes and making wine in all of South America.
This is a blend of 62% Malbec and 38% Cabernet and aged in French Barrels for 24 months with the result of making one of the most impressive wines I’ve tasted from Sth. America. Did I mention the vintage is 2012 so a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of cellaring has been done already?
Enticing nose of dark fruits but it’s the palate that will convince you just how good this wine is. Give this wine a little breath time to open up and reveal its true complexity and appeal. Integrated layers of ripe blackberries, blueberries, plum, chocolate, coffee and spices all work together with impressive results. Drinking beautifully now but will cellar out another 5 years.
