2006 Pulenta Gran Corte, Mendoza, Argentina

“Mulberry and cherry fruit flavours and juicy fresh acidity make this blend from Mendoza spicy, approachable and typically Argentinian in style, yet surprisingly elegantly balanced.”
(Anthony Rose - The Independent – Feb 09)

The 2006 Gran Corte is composed of 45% Malbec, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 3% Tannat, and 3% Petit Verdot aged in French oak. Deep crimson-colored, it has a complex aromatic array of cedar, leather, spice box, mineral, black currant, and black cherry. Medium-bodied, firmly structured, and concentrated, it has outstanding depth, savory flavors, and a 45-second finish. Drink it from 2012 to 2021.
