Mendel
Unus 2019
Mendoza
Blended from the best lots of the 1928 estate vineyards, this iconic small-batch blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot is powerful yet smooth.
VINEYARD
AVERAGE AGES OF VINES: 59 YEARS
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 3400 FEET
VINIFICATION
The vineyards are located in Mayor Drummond, Perdriel (Lujan de Cuyo) and Altamira (Uco Valley). The wine was aged for 16 months in 100% new French Taransaud oak.
TASTING NOTES
The aromas of dark cherries, plums and roasted cocoa come leaping out of the glass. This is a big but very suave wine with layers of ripe cherry, berry fruits, white pepper, mint, chocolate, caramel, smoke, and toast. There are loads of ripe, soft tannins, so this wine will certainly age beautifully for a decade or longer, but the temptation to drink it right away may be too much to resist.
FOOD PAIRING
Try with smoked meats and charcuterie.
