| Vintage: | 2013 |

| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nThe color, aromas and flavors are quite developed, nuanced and polished, with complexity and detail. It does have the herbal and spicy character of the grape (all the textbook descriptors are there: tobacco, forest floor, something herbal) and the warmth of the vintage and the place. It\u2019s harmonious, with moderate alcohol and good freshness.\r\nAbout Carmelo Patti\r\n\r\n \t\r\nCarmelo Patti was an important force for the rebirth of fine wine production in Mendoza in the eighties and to this day is one of the most respected enologists and winemakers in the country. His winemaking style is as unique as his character; no consultants, no manipulation, no pretentions\r\n\r\n \t\r\nHis style is singular and nearly anachronistic \u2013 favoring a classical, \u201cnaked\u201d approach over huge, heavily oaked fruit in his wines. He also releases\r\nthem only when he deems them \u201cready\u201d with wines \u2013 typically 5 years after harvest at the earliest.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nAll wines are made naturally, with no chemical additives and only native yeast.\r\n\r\n\r\nABOUT THE WINE\r\n\r\n \t\r\nWhile under the radar in the United States, Carmelo Patti is very well known throughout Argentina for this \u201ccult\u201d Cabernet Sauvignon bottling.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nThis single vineyard Cabernet from Perdriel is more European in style than most examples you will find there, the result of vineyard work that favors balance and finesse over power, native yeast fermentation, traditional elevage, and extended aging in bottle prior to release.\r\n\r\n\r\nProduction:\u00a01,000 cases |
