750ML

Rating

88 Points, Wine Enthusiast: Dense aromas of berries come with graphite and peppery scents, with notes of wood smoke and grilled meat. This feels full and a touch rough and rugged, with raspberry and plum flavors matched by herbal and burnt accents. It’s forward and toasted on the finish, with coffee, herb and animal notes. Contains 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine maker notes

José Luis Mounier is one of the most respected winemakers in all of Argentina. Originally from Mendoza, José is considered the “Maestro of Torrontes” in Salta. Working with the Etchart family and Michel Rolland, he was the head winemaker at Etchart for over 20 years. He is known for crafting wines that both appeal to the novice wine drinker and the person seeking deeper meaning in the glass.

Finca las Nubes - "farm of the clouds" - is crafted high on the slopes where José has been making wine for over 20 years. He and his wife decided to buy their own property where they could build a winery to pass on to their children. They found a place that is one of the most memorable locations in Salta - it is literally high enough to be in the clouds on some days. The pure air and water at this altitude allow José to make wines exactly as he intends - fragrant and balanced. While winemakers are known to be dreamers (even to have their heads in the clouds), the location of Finca Las Nubes brings new meaning to this proverb.
