Red Wine Hand-Picked
Tasting Notes: 100% Malbec. Finca Abril is located in "La Consulta" in Valle de Uco, in the mid-west of the Province of Mendoza. La Consulta is a late-ripening spot in Mendoza and therefore one of the two strongest regions for the 2008 vintage. Finca Abril’s vineyards were first planted in 1922, Malbec vineyards total13 hectares. Hand harvested in March and April, aged for twelve months, this 100% Malbec has a nose of roasted meat, dark chocolate, ripe blackberry and soft, rounded mouthfeel with dark, deep-dish plum pudding, chocolate and soft blackberry fruit on the palate. The structure makes ageability apparent but tannins notably soften in the glass.

 DURIGUTTI MALBEC FAMILIA 
sku # 2359921
Red Wine Hand-Picked
95 Pts ST This is made by what many consider the Masters of Malbec from Mendoza. Brothers Hector and Pablo Durigutti. They became famous with their work with Alberto Atonini (Of Antinori and Frescobaldi) at Altos Las Hormigas, the wines that put Malbec from Argentina on the map in the late nineties. With extensive training in Europe including Antinori. They are the countries most sought after consulting enologists for the likes of Rutini; Catena and Cinco Tierras. Durigutti is their own boutique project and this is wine the Familia is their flagship wines. This wine is recognized as one of the greatest coming out of Mendoza. The wine comes from two of the greatest vineyard sites in Mendoza that have some of the oldest vines in the region. Vineyards were planted in the 1940’s.  One from Maipo (The Lulunta Vineyard) and one from San Carlos (The La Consulta Vineyard) Only 250 cases of the wine were made and are extremely rare.<br><br><b>Tasting Notes:</b> Super ripe aromas of cassis, chocolate mint, graphite and sexy oak; reminded me of a Napa cabernet. Lush and broad, with a restrained sweetness and enticing minty lift to the flavors of cassis, licorice and minerals. Sexy oak and inner-mouth floral character add complexity.
