This is our favorite cuvee from them. It is a Cabernet-driven Bordeaux blend using only top-quality grapes - including fruit from mature estate vines (some original 1969 Cabernet plantings in their famed Block N°1). The Cabernet is crushed for structure, while other varieties often go in as whole berries for aromatics. A third of the Cabernet even sees an extended 8-week skin maceration in a large upright oak cask, building even more depth and complexity. In a great drinking window now. A benchmark Aussie wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banville Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46147869901048,"sku":"12327","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_1404-2.jpg?v=1757113524"},{"product_id":"michelini-i-mufatto-gualtallary-oleo-la-cautiva-tupungato","title":"2019 Michelini i Mufatto, Gualtallary Oleo La Cautiva, Tupungato","description":"","brand":"David Bowler Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46147893494008,"sku":"12506","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_1969.jpg?v=1757113353"},{"product_id":"altos-hormigas-paraje-altamira-jardin-de-hormigas-meteora-malbec-uco-valley","title":"2021 Altos Hormigas, Paraje Altamira Jardin de Hormigas Meteora Malbec, Uco Valley","description":"","brand":"Michael Skurnik Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46148159734008,"sku":"15024","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_1344.jpg?v=1757111122"},{"product_id":"2022-chateau-le-puy-emilien","title":"2022 Chateau le Puy, Emilien","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eIf Bordeaux had the ultimate hipster, it would be Château Le Puy.

This wine is made from Malbec grown in vineyards located on the third terrace above the Lot river, featuring older vines planted in clay-limestone soils.\n\nIn the glass, it shows an intense, dark color with concentrated notes of blackberry, black cherry, and subtle hints of tobacco and earth, all framed by a robust, structured texture.  The 2021 vintage provided a cool, temperate growing season, which resulted in a wine defined by fresh fruit profiles, lifted acidity, and a precise, balanced character.\n\nThis bottle offers excellent depth and is built to age, though its inherent balance makes it a compelling choice to enjoy now with some time in a decanter.","brand":"DNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597879099640,"sku":"19229","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_2780.jpg?v=1764978807"},{"product_id":"2023-altos-hormigas-malbec-clasico-mendoza","title":"2023 Altos Hormigas, Malbec Clasico, Mendoza","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage, shaped by an early harvest, resulted in a wine with a concentrated mid-palate and a lively acid backbone. \u003cspan class=\"citation-53 citation-end-53\"\u003eBy avoiding new oak, the winemaking team highlights the variety's natural energy and fine-grained tannins.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The final result is a balanced, easy-drinking Malbec that offers a precise and saline-inflected expression of Mendoza's mountain terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Skurnik Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47938293563640,"sku":"19731","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3139.jpg?v=1770159470"},{"product_id":"2022-altos-hormigas-paraje-altamira-jardin-de-hormigas-meteora-malbec-uco-valley","title":"2022 Altos Hormigas, Paraje Altamira Jardin de Hormigas Meteora Malbec, Uco Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eAltos Las Hormigas produces the Meteora Malbec from the certified organic Jardín de Hormigas vineyard in Paraje Altamira, utilizing rigorous soil mapping by Pedro Parra to isolate four specific high-altitude plots.
