GROWER DIRECTS

Our exclusive launch from this winery of 80 year vines pre-phyloxera, making a mono-variental blend from its best vineyards. Our dear friend Heriberto bought these vineyards in 1967, and they were already planted with cabernet, merlot, carignan & carmenere. To his recollection, they were already there another 20 years. To our SOMM;  these 'dry-farmed', ancient vineyards of 80-100 years, produce an extraordinary wine. We have only a small allocation of 500 bottles for 2020 for U.S.  Take a number and book this great  find, before it vanishes.  90 IWS
