Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Rich wine perfumed with aromas of cassis and raspberry jam. Elegant touch of smoke and roasted pepper with balsamic and spicy notes. Soft, complex, and very long aftertaste.

Ideal to serve with pasta, grilled red meats, and stews.

    Fresh plums, currants, tobacco, walnut husk and vanilla on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Sleek and succulent with a flavorful finish. Drink in the next five years.

Trapiche represents the richness of diversity in Argentina. Trapiche's motto is "where there is soil, the sky is the limit" and this leads the brand to explore Argentina's extensive lands in search of new experiences. Since 1883, Trapiche has been located in Maipú, in the province of Mendoza, and is the leading Argentine winery in terms of production and exports, reaching over 80 countries. Since the beginning, Trapiche has understood the promise of viticulture in Argentina. Trapiche specializes in bringing out the best of each terroir and creating unique wines from each. This diversity is possible thanks to 3000 acres of owned vineyards and 300 independent producers who contribute their best grapes for the wines. Quality, innovation and diversity have always been the pillars that guide Trapiche's journey.

Argentina of course is heralded for its Malbecs. But in the last two decades Cabernet Sauvignon has been drawing increased attention from winemakers there, and is now the third most planted variety. It is grown in the Mendoza region in the Andean foothills, especially in Maipú and Luján de Cuyo, at altitudes between 2300 and 3100 feet. Here the climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. It is very dry and sometimes quite windy, with runoff from the snow-capped Andes providing irrigation. These Argentinian Cabernets offer dark fruit, spice notes, full body and often a voluptuous style.

Another source within Mendoza is the higher altitude Uco Valley, at 3300 to 5000 feet. Up at this level grapes ripen more slowly, despite the bright sun. But that enables them to develop bright acidity levels, giving the wines a fresh quality to go with intense fruit flavors. Another source of good Cabernet Sauvignon in Argentina is Cafayate, in the Calchaquí Valley. North of Mendoza, these vineyards are even higher, at about 5700 feet! These Cabernets carry notes of spice, herbs and menthol to go with dark fruit. Like those from Uco Valley, they show concentration and great vibrancy.

A few producers to look for are Catena, Viña Cobos, Pulenta and Altocedro. Salud!
