"(13.9% alcohol): Bright medium ruby. Pungent, high-toned aromas of blackberry, black pepper, licorice pastille and spices, plus a faint weedy nuance. Sweeter and plusher in the mouth than the nose suggests, but still with a pungent licorice-and-pepper quality to its dark berry flavors. A bit disjointed owing to its combination of somewhat herbal flavors and thick, smooth texture but the tannins are harmonious and fine-grained. I'd like to see this again in a year or two. - Stephen Tanzer"

"A rich red with berry and dried-fruit character. Some toasted-oak and coffee undertones. Medium body."
"The 2017 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has an unusual nose that combines notes of cherries in liqueur and liniment. It's a bit jammy and candied. It's still quite hard and tannic. There's no origin on the label, not even Mendoza, but apparently the grapes came from Gualtallary. 5,000 bottles were filled in December 2018. - Luis Gutiérrez"
