2012 Cuvelier Los Andes El Cuvelier Mendoza

This is one of Argentina's newest iconic wine from one of the memebers of the Clos de la Siete group.  The winemaking staff at Cuvelier taste barrel by barrel to get the best 10 barrels from this outstanding vintage only 3000 bottles for the world!  A blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, a big wine with 15.5% alcohol this is the first vintage of this iconic wine from Mendoza, a good amount of sweet fruit toasty oak, very complex, with aromas of crushed violets, dark chocolate and more very well endowed with layers of fruit, toasty oak spice and still has a freshness and balance despite its size.  Graphite fresh earth.  Killer+
