Rutini Red Blend la Consulta Felipe Rutini Apartado 750 ML

Made only in exceptional vintage years, the grapes for Apartado, meaning “that which is set apart”, go through a rigorous selection of the Rutini’s best vineyards sites. The Cabernet is sourced from the Agrelo district, Malbec from La Consulta, Merlot from Tupungato and Syrah from Lujan de Cayo. The result from blending grapes from different microclimates and terroirs within Mendoza’s high-altitude wine-growing region produces complex, rich and elegant wines. Aging takes place for 21 months in new French oak. 100% malolactic fermentation.
A blend of 30% Merlot, 30% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah, this well-structured wine has a complex nose of red fruits, plums and cherries. Notes of tobacco and chocolate show through as well. On the palate there are fruit flavors of blackberries, blue berries and cherries along with hints of spice. Soft sweet tannins are present on the lingering silky finish.
