“Cuvelier Los Andes” Tasting
Marian Cherrone from Slocum and Sons will show us some wonderful Malbec selections from Cuvelier Los Andes.
Cuvelier Los Andes Coleccion 2006
$25.00 per bottle
The Coleccion is a super dark ruby color. The nose is bold, with scents of blueberries and dried plums. The mouthfeel is smooth, with grainy tannins you can almost feel. The taste is more blueberries and black cherries and wood with a beautiful, long lasting finish.
Cuvelier Los Andes Grand Vin 2006
$39 per bottle
The 2006 Grand Vin is a blend of 70% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah, 7% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. It was aged in French oak for 12 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Inky purple, the wine has an alluring perfume of wood smoke, spice box, pencil lead, black cherry, and black currant. This leads to a medium to full-bodied wine with an intense attack, layers of spicy black fruits, licorice, and chocolate. All components are nicely integrated and lead to a lengthy, pure finish.
