Impress
Red
Sourced entirely from a single vineyard in the Uco Valley, where the cold nights and altitude produce grapes of unparalleled intensity, this powerful Elevation Red is a unlike anything you've ever tasted before. Made by a winemaking team that includes both the first permanent winemaker at the world-famous Chateau Petrus (whose wines often sell for over $3,000) and an industry legend with over 30 years of winemaking expertise, the ruby Red Impress is the perfect steak wine with a smooth finish that will delight you down to the last drop.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Mendoza](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1837/normal/Argentina_Mendoza.png?1616006256)
Mendoza
Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

Raspberry
Predominate aromas of this wine are of fruits of the forest such as raspberries and strawberries. In the mouth, it has dark plum and cherry fruit flavors with notes of dark cocoa, mocha, licorice spice. Medium-bodied wine with sweet, ripe tannins through to its smooth, balanced finish.

Impress
Never to be confused with something flashy or loud, the wines of Impress are about honest subtly. A mutual respect that is built with each sip. The transparency of the land, the grapes, and the hard work that went into each bottle. The layers of flavor do not lie, and they certainly do impress.
