Amancaya Cab/Merlot

Description:

Bodegas Caro is a highly successful partnership between Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) of Bordeaux and Nicolas Catena of Mendoza, Argentina. To celebrate its Andean origin, the wine was named Amancaya, after the mountain flower which grows in the Andes. The wine is a blend, as they say, based on the elegant texture of the Bordelais Cabernet Sauvignon enhanced by the fruit of the Argentine transplant, Malbec. Indeed, the wine clearly speaks of the elegance and breed of fine claret enhanced by the richness of ripe new-world fruit. Refined and discreet aromas suggest spiced plum, cassis, black cherry, blackberry, a hint of earth and a Lafite-like cedary quality; rich and velvet-textured on the tongue with finely-resolved ripe tannins and toasty berry flavors that burst forth toward the extended finish.
