ABOUT THIS WINE:
Los Antiguos
Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Los Antiguos Cabernet Sauvignon is a delectable fusion of Old World elegance and New World charm. Each sip offers generous oaky, and spicy characteristics with hints of dark berry fruit. Hidden high in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Mendoza provides a perfect environment for Cabernet to flourish. Hot, sunny days and cool nights create optimal conditions for the grapes to ripen slowly, developing intense fruit flavors and balanced acidity. Though it's not native to the region, this French grape has called Mendoza home since the 19th century when European immigrants brought the first vine cuttings from Bordeaux. Over the years, Cabernet Sauvignon has grown fond of high-mountain living, developing distinct expressions worthy of mindful appreciation and a good meal.

Argentina
Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.

TASTING NOTES:
Coconut
Cloves
Chocolate
The oakiness and spice are the influence of American oak barrels. Aromas of coconut, baker's chocolate, and clove carry from the nose to the palate, joining subtle blackberry notes. The full body, smooth tannins, and modest acidity make it excellent for food-pairing.
