REGION
Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina
VARIETAL
70% Malbec & 30% Cabernet Franc
TASTING NOTES
This small production wine is a blend of Malbec and Cabernet Franc from Gualtallary. The nose shows notes of plum, cassis, cocoa nibs, and crushed dried leaves. On the palate the wine comes through with black currant held up by a strong tannin core. This wine is good now but can definitely age as well. -Importer's Notes

"The red 2021 GY is a blend of 65% Malbec and 35% Cabernet Franc that fermented with 50% full clusters (the Malbec was with stems and the Cabernet Franc destemmed) and matured in used 225- and 500-liter oak barrels for 12 months. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (13%) and very good freshness and is the red where the chalky minerality appears. It's clean, young, fresh and precise. It's medium-bodied, fresh and balanced, with fine-grained tannins. 15,000 bottles and 50 magnums were filled in June 2022."
