Cabernet Sauvignon

A vibrant, fruit-forward cabernet with aromas of crushed stones, dried herbs, violets, blackcurrants and cassis. Full-bodied, well-balanced and full of energy, with firm, fine tannins and a pretty finish. Drink from 2024. James Suckling April 2023

A vineyard at 1,100 metres in Perdriel is the origin of this Cabernet Sauvignon from Roberto de la Mota, a man who understands the variety as well as anyone in Argentina. Sweetly oaked in one-third new barrels, it has bramble, cassis and blackcurrant leaf flavours, structured tannins and the concentration to age. Essence of Luján de Cuyo. 2024-30 Tim Atkin

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was produced with grapes from their vineyard in Perdriel (Finca de los Andes is now mentioned on the label) that was planted in 1994 and delivers a fruit-driven and varietal red with fine tannins and a gentle mouthfeel. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in French barrique for one year. It has good ripeness and 14.3% alcohol. I always find notes of honey and beeswax in this wine, and this vintage is not an exception. It has herbal and berry fruit and is fresh, spicy and peppery, from the variety, with a medium to full-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins. It represents the variety, vintage and place faithfully. 36,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022. Wine Advocate November 2022

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, from Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, was aged for 12 months in one-third new barrels. A vivid garnet red in hue. Features gentle pyrazines, ash, pepper, delicate blackcurrant and cherry aromas and a touch of roasted red pepper. Indulgent and taut, the polished, reactive tannins channel the flow. Delivering long-lasting, prolix flavor, this is everything you’d expect of a Cabernet Sauvignon from Perdriel. Vinous January 2023
