Carlos Basso Dos Fincas Cab / Merlot

ABOUT THE WINE: The use of two separate vineyards in Argentina is a traditional practice to safeguard against the threat of hail. For the Basso family it also allows them to make a more interesting blend by combining the attributes of two distinct microclimates. The dark powerful fruit from their vineyard in San Carlos matched with the softer more nuanced fruit from their vineyard in Tunuyan makes for a memorable wine. A terrific value! Elaboration: Fermented and aged in stave studded concrete tanks for 9 months. Unfined and unfiltered. TASTING NOTES: Excellent quality price ratio. Shows jammy berry aromas backed by plump black berry and strawberry flavors. Solid and flush throughout with surprising softness. – Carlos Basso
