Appellation Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina, is known historically as the ‘premier zone’ for wine-growing in Mendoza. Its high elevation location (3,018 - 3,537 ft), in combination with a semi-desert climate and lownutrient, stony soils provide ideal conditions for cultivation of high quality fruit. Growing Season Spring arrived in Mendoza with snow still in the vineyards and was followed by frost and winds, leading to a difficult fruit set. Summer started warmer than average with wind and very dry conditions prevailing. From late February onwards, slightly cooler days and sunny skies yielded perfect ripening conditions. A record one-day rainstorm on March 19 could have been disastrous were it not for the drying windy weather that followed immediately. The 2010 growing season was characterized by the excellent phenolic ripeness attained at lower Brix levels.

"Black garnet with saturated violet tones on the rim, this showy malbec summons aromas of ripe blackberries, plum skin and red licorice with spicy vanilla overtones. Weighty and smoothly textured on the palate, with dense waves of red currants, wet stones and rich oak aromatics."
