Terrazas De Los Andes Cabernet Sauvignon Altos Del Plata Mendoza 2020 750 ML

Pure aromas of blackberries, plums and crushed stones follow through to a medium to full body with medium, chewy tannins and plenty of fruit, but a tight, reserved finish. Give this a year to two to soften and open, but already pretty. Polished texture at the end.\n \n Producer Information\n Terrazas de los Andes is an Argentinian wine producer based in the country's key winegrowing region of Mendoza. The estate was established at a historic 1898 Spanish-style winery in the heart of the region. In 1992, Chandon Argentina of Moët & Chandon began the Terrazas de los Andes project to discover the best sites for Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Torrontés, and Chardonnay in the region. Soon after the winery was established in 1996, Terrazas de los Andes partnered with Château Cheval Blanc to produce the Cheval des Andes a blend of Malbec with Bordeaux varieties. The Terrazas de los Andes wine portfolio is led by the Grand range, a duo of varietal Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon wines that are sourced from the best high-altitude plots of the estate vineyards. Both spend between 16 to 18 months aging in new French oak prior to bottling and will happily cellar for a few decades. Other ranges include the value-driven Altos del Plata, composed of varietal Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The range is designed to be approachable with fruit-forward wines suited to a broad range of consumers. The vineyards range between 1970 to 5900 feet (600 to 1800 meters) above sea level, located in the Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley subregions, as well as in Cafayate in the region of Salta.
