Elsa Bianchi Mendoza, Argentina Cabernet
All Elsa wines are single-vineyard, from the family’s original vineyards holdings, where Dona Elsa (the late grandmother of the current Bianchi owners) lived in her first “casa,” which still sits among the vines.
Taste: This is a classic Cabernet, with a deep red color and some ruby shadings; aromas of black pepper, cedar, herb and hints of paprika. This wine is medium- to full-bodied, with a sweet and balanced sensation on the palate. Its flavors match its aromas, providing a pleasant, smooth and complex mouth-feel that is full of fruit.
