Beautiful aromas of minerals, mint and currants here follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. This is so well crafted and shows a complex character of minerals, spices and fruit. Much better in 2017 or 2018, but a joy to taste now. This is Argentina's answer to Super Tuscan reds from Italy. A blend of 85% malbec, 3% syrah, 3% cabernet franc, 4% bonarda, and 5% cabernet sauvignon.

Rich, delivering layers of baking spices, mocha and licorice to the ripe plum and zesty wild berry fruit. Fine tannins add structure to the finish. Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2017.

Loamy, rich, baked aromas of blackberry and cassis sit on the precipice of jammy and raisiny. In the mouth, tartaric acid sticks out, creating a tolerable inbalance between raisiny fruit and pushy zest. Meanwhile, flavors of coconut, vanilla, mocha and baked black fruits are hedonistic and rich. Drink through 2018. This is 85% Malbec with Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Hector and Pablo were born in Mendoza, the cradle of wine and were raised together. Their childhood and their home were always connected to a sensorial world, with aromas, ingredients, and flavors that, over time, motivated them to choose the path to become enologists. As adults, they would find these familiar memories and similar passions. Since 2002 they have been dedicated to their project as a small family winery. Today the brothers have evolved to form the new generation of winemakers, leading an evolutionary change in Argentina’s viticulture. With that same spirit, the Durigutti brothers craft their wines and have started to write their own history, a family legacy, in a chosen place where they live and work daily with dedication.
