The winemaking process includes extended maceration and aging in oak barrels, adding complexity and depth. The result is a bold, full-bodied wine with a harmonious balance of ripe fruit, elegant tannins, and a long, lingering finish. Pros:

Cons:
- This is priced above the average for wines from Mendoza
Wine Expert Note:
This Grand Reserve shows a deep ruby color in the glass. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and cedar, complemented by hints of herbs and plum. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, presenting firm tannins and a rich blend of dark fruit flavors. Notes of vanilla, tobacco, and spice add depth, while subtle green herbs and oregano bring complexity. The finish is long and lingering, supported by tannins that are firm but not overpowering. It is recommended to decant this wine for at least an hour before serving to fully appreciate its complexity and allow the flavors to develop.Taste Flavor
