Explore Mendoza’s take on Cabernet with an intriguing balance of earth and fruit
ABOUT THIS WINE:
PrimaZona
Cabernet Sauvignon
While Malbec is widely considered the golden child of Argentinian wine, Cabernet Sauvignon is undeniably the dark horse.

This allows our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to develop ripe, fruit-focused characteristics while maintaining the distinct structure shaped by Mendoza’s unique climate. Those familiar with Cabernet can expect the fruit-focused nature of Californian styles, with the firmer mouthfeel akin to Bordeaux. Serve this wine at room temperature alongside hearty dinne ...

WINE REGION:
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.

TASTING NOTES:
Blackberry
Earth
Cedar
This wine has a nuanced and intriguing flavor profile. The nose is driven by oak and age, presenting cedar and earth aromas. A full palate offers subtle tingles of acidity but remains notably balanced and structured. Stewed blackberry flavors are dense and lead to a dusty tannic finish.
