From Cuvelier Los Andes in Argentina’s Uco Valley, Mendoza, the Colección Red Blend 2019 is a refined Bordeaux-style blend of 62% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 8% Syrah, sourced from estate vineyards on stony alluvial gravel soils at high elevation that impart concentration and elegance. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2019 vintage undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months' aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and spice. Rooted in Bordeaux heritage by the Cuvelier family and overseen by Michel Rolland, this production yields an intense red-purple wine with vibrant intensity and approachable poise.
Tasting Notes An elegant, harmonious red with ripe black fruit and spicy finesse, reflecting Uco Valley’s high-altitude terroir. The nose reveals blackberry, licorice, bitter chocolate, and hints of violet and spice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and velvety, with round tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of red fruits, cloves, and subtle earth, leading to a charming, lingering finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2019 Colección Red Blend earned 90 points from Wine Advocate for its complex, mineral-driven balance and velvety texture.
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 notes over time.
