winemaker's notes:

Number 18 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

Bodegas Caro was born of an alliance between two wine cultures, (French and Argentine), two noble grape varieties, (Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec), and two renowned wine families, (Domaines Barons de Lafite Rothschild and Nicolas Catena).

The 2005 Amancaya is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 55% Malbec from 50 year-old high-altitude vineyards in the Andes.

Intense purple-red color. A fruity wine, dominated by the ripe red cherry and wild strawberries with notes of vanilla and some smoke given by the oak. Concentrated, with good tannins and full mid palate.

"...this blend of malbec and cabernet sauvignon has a deep core of black and red fruit enhanced by a refreshing acidity and muscular tannins. Although you can enjoy it now with osso buco, it will gain in complexity and charm with five years in bottle..."

This is one of the best reds I've ever had -- and when you factor in its affordability, it's hard to go wrong.
A Customer - New Jersey
I had high hopes for this wine, but I was dissapointed. A little too acidic. A "good" wine, but not an excellent find.
A Customer - Chicago, IL
What an incredible value!

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.
Green wine
