2021 | Altocedro | Ano Cero Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep ruby red. This is a restrained yet fresh and elegant red with aromas of black fruit and cedar wood and some green nuances. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long, warming finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: A lithe and accessible version, with loam and herb shadings to the cherry pastry and plum core. Concludes with hints of espresso bean.

• James Suckling: Nice tobacco leafiness to the cassis and red-plum aromas, showing varietal expression. Medium-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and generous red fruit. Slightly tacky at the end, though it remains balanced and friendly enough.

Limited production with sustainable growing practices make the Altocedro wines a cult-type wine in Argentina. Winemaker Karim Mussi Saffie focuses on producing terroir-driven wines.

The extract is done with a gravity flow system developed at the winery over 100 years ago.
