It is made from vineyards in Mendoza and is a joint venture between Saint-Emilion's Château Cheval Blanc, the legendary Premier Grand Cru Classé A, and Argentina's Terrazas de los Andes. The Bordeaux blend wine is made with grapes from vines as much as 80 years old, planted in the Las Compuertas vineyard in Luján de Cuyo.The high-altitude vineyard, located in the foothills of the Andes, covers 50 hectares (124 acres), and is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot. The sandy loam soils provide good drainage, causing root systems to dig deep into the ground in search of hydration, making for healthy vines and concentrated grapes. The diurnal temperature variation at the estate, with warm days and cool nights, allows grapes to ripen while retaining acidity. Water for irrigation is provided from Andes snowmelt.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-14T10:35:10-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-03T13:51:28-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Argentina","Other_Wine","Producer_Cheval des Andes","Region_Mendoza","RK0302","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":79999,"price_min":79999,"price_max":79999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42761470378122,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2017 | Cheval des Andes | Mendoza (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":79999,"weight":24494,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_cc77354c-6b64-45ce-92ee-47b1dbcc7ae0.png?v=1675450364"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_cc77354c-6b64-45ce-92ee-47b1dbcc7ae0.png?v=1675450364","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2017 | Cheval des Andes | Mendoza (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":24146240602250,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.305,"height":321,"width":98,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_cc77354c-6b64-45ce-92ee-47b1dbcc7ae0.png?v=1675450364"},"aspect_ratio":0.305,"height":321,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_cc77354c-6b64-45ce-92ee-47b1dbcc7ae0.png?v=1675450364","width":98}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2017 | Cheval des Andes | Mendoza (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and well-structured, with intense coffee bean notes to the dried red currant and dark plum flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheval des Andes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eD\u003c\/span\u003e | 95  \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eJS\u003c\/span\u003e | 100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2017\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.5L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Argentina, Mendoza\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and well-structured, with intense coffee bean notes to the dried red currant and dark plum flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003eReviews:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e This is an excellent wine - juicy, with tension and depth, and a confident sense of style and character.
