La Parcelle 8 Cabernet Sauvignon presents bold and complex aromas of black fruits, chocolate, and toast alongside earthy, herbal, and floral notes. On the palate, it displays a full body, ripe tannins, and a lasting finish.
La Parcelle 8 Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with roasted lamb, braised short ribs, mushrooms, or fine cheeses.
Review:
Complex and intense with a rare mineral quality for the hot 2020 vintage. Fresh blueberries, wild herbs, hot stones and graphite. A hint of violet. Tannins are quite chalky and tense on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Extremely long with an ethereal finish. It goes on and on, lasting for two minutes. Effortless intensity and concentration, but almost weightless. This delivers exceptional freshness for this vintage. Harvested from 18th March. Already drinkable now, but it will last. 100% century-old, ungrafted cabernet sauvignon.

Gran Enemigo Chacayes is dark and firm, with notes of blueberries, black currants, lavender, tobacco, walnuts, and black peppercorns. The finish has a savory mineral character. Certified Sustainable by Bodegas de Argentina.
Gran Enemigo Chacayes is a perfect match for grilled lamb, chimichurri roasted vegetables, or beef stew.
Review:
Blueberries, blackcurrants, hot stones, tobacco leaves, dried lavender, walnuts and cracked pepper on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Dark and mineral character to this. Solid, compact cabernet franc. Firm and savory finish. Try from 2024.
