One of the most interesting $15 wines of the year, the Terrior Expression Gualtallary Cabernet is a blend of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from high elevation vineyards in the Uco Valley. This is the same place where Catena sources their Mundus Bacillus, as well as El Enemigo's Gran Enemigo, which both command huge prices of $300 a bottle! Wines from Gualtallary have always been known for their intense blue fruit notes, while retaining excellent freshness and acidity due to the high elevation. Throw in winemaker Marcelo Pelleriti, the only Latin American winemaker to obtain 100 points from Robert Parker (Chateau La Violette 2010) his Gualtallary is a pure, elegant red that easily compares with $50+ Napa Reds. Huge aromatics of red fruits, strawberry, cherry and plum, complemented by crisp minerality and lifting acidity.
"This is really delicious, fruity Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon with currants, dark chocolate and hazelnuts. Medium-bodied, linear and fine. Drink now." James Suckling, 93 Points
