One of the true gems of the Mendoza region - a masterful creation from one of Italy’s most influential consultants/winemakers, Alberto Antonini.  Unfortunately, the distributor has only a few cases left on hand and it appears the wine will not be returning to Georgia for four more years. 

Beautifully proportioned 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with rich notes of cherry, plum, currant and spice flavors, with sweet tannins and delicate nuances of toasty buttery oak and vanilla.  Best of all, the wine’s flavors build on the palate in an incredible wave of sensation.  In a blind tasting, this Cabernet Sauvignon could easily be mistaken for a top-ranked Bordeaux.

Winemaker’s Notes
Our vintage 2002 Cabernet was harvested the second week of April. Our notes recall that this was a lush year with lots of rain and a mild, long summer. Generally, yields that year were very high, as was quality. We intentionally, however, cropped our acres to only two tons per acre, resulting in the most premium, concentrated fruit.

Production Area
Lujan de Cuyo, located 3,465 ft. above sea level, with northeastern exposure and a sandy soil composition

Vineyard Characteristics
22.5 acres planted in 1975 with a density of 640 vines per acre. The vines are planted in the traditional method and yield 2 tons per acre.  The harvest was carried out in mid April.
