From Cuvelier Los Andes in Argentina’s Uco Valley, Mendoza, the Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a refined 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from younger vines in the Varietals range on alluvial and clay-loam soils at high elevation that impart vibrancy and purity. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2020 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months' aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and finesse. As an entry-level expression from the Cuvelier family’s Argentine outpost, inspired by their Bordeaux roots, this production yields a deep ruby wine with vibrant intensity and approachable elegance.
Tasting Notes An elegant, fruit-driven red with ripe black fruits and subtle spice, reflecting Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir. The nose reveals blackcurrant, blackberry, and hints of cedar and violet. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with supple tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of dark cherry, licorice, and a touch of earthiness, leading to a long, balanced finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon earned 92 points from Vinous for its dense, sappy concentration and vibrant black fruit.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with grilled beef, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater leather and earthy nuances over time.
