winemaker's notes:

CARO was born of the alliance between two wine cultures, French and Argentine; two noble grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec; and two renowned wine families, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas Catena. Vignerons since the 19th century, these two powerful organizations have combined their deep knowledge of Mendoza's high altitude terroir and the art of winemaking to create a unique wine: CARO. Two cultures, two families, two varietals, one wine.

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Malbec

Beautiful, slightly purple color. Intense on the nose with ripe red and black fruit, a touch of mint with tobacco and vanilla aromas, and well-integrated oak. Rich and full-bodied, powerful and velvety with good aromatic complexity on the palate and good length. A rich, complex & balanced wine with ripe, juicy tannins.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes
