Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker notes on current 2020 vintage
"Notes of cassis, red and black pepper, and spices. There are beautiful mineral notes and integrated oak characteristics such as vanilla, caramel, and smoke. The mature and soft tannins are round with a fresh acidity. Concentrated, balanced, and full-flavored, it displays both elegance and freshness. Pairs well with grilled meats such as chicken, pork and beef. Try with sharp cheeses, wild mushrooms or grilled vegetables."
93/100 Decanter, Julie Sheppard (2019 vintage)
"From ungrafted vines grown at just over 1,000m in Perdriel in Luján de Cuyo this is an accomplished, fruit-driven Cabernet. Attractive black fruit aromas, with hints of cherry, blueberry, black pepper and liquorice. More black berries and spice on the palate, which is marked by juicy tannins and uplifting freshness. Spends 12 months in new and used French oak and at least six months in bottle before release."
93/100 James Suckling (2019 vintage)
"Currant, blackberry and stone aromas follow through to a full body with firm, balanced tannins that are rather chewy now, but will soften in a year or two. Serious bottle of cab! Drink or hold."
Mendel wines classically combine Roberto de la Mota’s prestigious winemaking skills and tremendously old vineyards to make Mendoza’s most elegant wines. Proprietor and long-time wine lover, Anabelle Sielecki, partnered with Roberto to transform her family’s historic 1928 vineyard into the respected estate it is today. She honors her father, a hardworking immigrant and successful businessman, by putting his first name, Mendel, on the label.
