Out of the ten wines that we preselected during our trip to Mendoza and Cafayate, two emerged as standouts during our blind tasting week. Interestingly, neither of them are Malbecs — despite a few making the initial cut. We also sampled some delicious Torrontés wines, but they were ultimately outshined by some French classics, perhaps reflecting a collective old world bias? Next time, we'll invite our new Argentinian friends to join us for the blind tasting!

Mevi
Blend Gran Reserva 2021
Maipú - Mendoza
This blend of composed of 40% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Syrah, sourced from the Maipú and Agrelo regions in Mendoza. The vineyards are planted in alluvial soil with drip irrigation and benefit from a dry climate and excellent sun exposure. The vines are grown using a high trellis system. After cold maceration, the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed, and fermented for 25 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by natural malolactic fermentation. Then, the wine is aged for 18 months in first-use French and American oak barrels. The gran reserva has an intense violet color, with aromas of figs, coffee, red fruits, and floral notes. The palate is well-balanced, with integrated flavors from barrel aging. It can be stored for up to 10 years. It is best served at 9-10°C accompanied by red meats and elegant dishes.
