Decero Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic in style, with cedar graphite and cassis notes reminiscent of Bordeaux. The wine veers towards elegance and balance rather than opulence and power. Located at 3500 feet, in the renowned Mendoza appellation of Agrelo, our one-of-a-kind Remolinos Vineyard takes its name from ‘remolinos’ – whirlwinds which keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition before being handpicked each vintage.

2020 Decero Cabernet Sauvignon has classic notes of cassis and some cherry and red fruit flavors with fresh acidit . The wine has supple integrated tannins, from 1 4 months in French oak barrels . A medium bodied, elegant style o f Cabernet Sauvignon.

 

92 Points, James Suckling

Cedar, walnuts, spice box, blackcurrants and black olives on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with complex layers of dark fruit framed by firm and fine tannins. Excellent structure and energy. Drink or hold.

92 Points, Wine Spectator

Rich and contoured, with an elegant entry of mace, graphite and floral notes, this version offers a nice depth of berry and cassis flavours at the core. The minerally finish is marked by lively tannins and a late note of cordial. Drink now through 2035.

Leafy notes on the nose blend with blackberry jam. This wine is medium-bodied and has a herbaceous character, with soft flavours of black fruit and tobacco.

"Located at 3500 feet, in the renowned Mendoza appellation of Agrelo, our one-of-a-kind Remolinos Vineyard takes its name from ‘Remolinos’ – whirlwinds which keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition before being handpicked each vintage. The hallmark style of Malbec from Remolinos Vineyard shows the intense violet aromatics and bright freshness and acidity which has come to define Decero Malbec. Elegant tannin complexity reflects beautifully integrated oak tannins following 14 months in French oak."

 

92 Points, James Suckling (previous vintage)

Cacao, fresh blackberries and blueberries with hints of violets and lemon zest. This fresh quality to the blue and black-fruit character extends to the palate, showing fluidity, coherence and drinkability. Lovely now, but will hold for a few years, too.

Each case contains 3 bottles of each:

 

 

Telmo Rodriguez Almuvedre - 2024

A consistent favourite in the extensive Telmo Rodriguez portfolio, and one of the best-value wines in a country not short on bargains. This 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre) is intense, sinewy and dark but with a seam of brightness that makes it effortlessly drinkable.

 

Baglio di Grisi Nero d'Avola - 2024

Deep red wine, with a bouquet rich in cherry scents and sweet fragrances of fresh red berry fruits. Intense and harmonious on the palate, it reveals an important structure. Pleasantly tannic and persistent in the finish.

 

Decero 'Remolinos Vineyard' Malbec - 2024

Leafy notes on the nose blend with blackberry jam. This wine is medium-bodied and has a herbaceous character, with soft flavours of black fruit and tobacco. Cacao, fresh blackberries and blueberries with hints of violets and lemon zest. This fresh quality to the blue and black-fruit character extends to the palate, showing fluidity, coherence and drinkability. Lovely now, but will hold for a few years, too.

 

Howard Park Terroir Cabernet - 2024

The Margaret River region’s flagship red variety puts in a stellar performance here. An opaque maroon hue, the nose offers notes of aniseed, soy, graphite, tobacco leaves, chocolate and blackberries. It is a powerful wine, but well balanced and has focus. A supple texture supports a sweet core of black cherries on the palate. There are silky tannins on a lingering finish. Fabulous value and the potential to improve even further, this will provide pleasure for the next six to twelve years.
