2017 Gran Enemigo Mendoza

A refined, medium-to full-bodied red with aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate, violets, tar and tobacco. Ultra fine tannins, interwoven with silky and seamless layers of dark berries. So elegant and fine. Long. Serious and focused with fantastic depth and structure. Drink or hold.

A high-density vineyard with 10,000 vines per hectare in Gualtallary supplies the fruit for this five-way assemblage of mostly Malbec with 50% Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Chalky, focused, nuanced and very refreshing, it’s a beautifully judged red blend, with lavender and wet stone aromas, layers of bramble and black cherry fruit and perfumed oak.
