Producer |
PIEDRA NEGRA |
| Extremely deep intense purple red colour. Complex, intense, slightly spicy, very attractive, ripe, cassis-plum-cherry fruit on the nose with some sandalwood-cedar notes. Dry, medium-full to full bodied, beautifully textured, harmonious, ripe, cassis-Damson-plum-black-cherry flavours with a lingering, bright, faintly minerally, cedar-sandalwood-tinged finish. This blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Malbec comes from the oldest winery in the Uco Valley founded in 1996 by Francois Lurton son of Bordeaux producer Andre Lurton. It has 14.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L21-028 07/03/35 on the back label. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: A full-bodied red with savory aromas of stewed currants, salted plums, mushrooms and dried herbs. Some seaweed, too. Firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity balance a concentrated core of black fruit with a savory edge. Dense and chewy. Very refined and polished. Gorgeous cabernet.
