Lujan de Cuyo is a subregion of Mendoza, both part of the larger Cuyo wine region in Argentina. It is located south of Mendoza city, across the river of the same name. Most of the vineyards surround the river, providing natural irrigation for the alluvial (sand over clay) soil. This is considered the star region of Mendoza where many of the country’s top internationally selling wineries are located. It became Argentina’s first official appellation in 1993.
Malbec is the main grape grown, and has seen a steady increase in quality over the years, with investments in modern wine-making equipment and techniques to maximize its potential. Cabernet Sauvignon is also widely successful in blends and varietal releases. Torrontes is the main white grape, known for its perfumed aroma, fruity flavor and refreshing acidity. Chardonnay is also grown.

Reserva Malbec. Bodega Norton 2010
Snoothrank:
D/H 2013-2017- A ripe red, offering ample acidity to support the jammy kirsch, plum sauce and wild berry coulis notes that are framed by medium tannins, with the finish pumping out hints of smoke, spice box and graphite.

Cruz Andina Malbec 2009
Snoothrank:
What happens when a bunch of Chileans come over the Andes to Argentina to make wine? Actually, they do a darned good job. Behind a splendidly funky bouquet of eggplant and mushroom, theres an earthy flavor punctuated by an acidic note of red currant. A very savory, not exactly generous, but uncompromising wine.

Luigi Bosca Malbec 2009
Snoothrank:
A little thin in the glass to the eye, but sharp and powerful in the mouth with a pleasing blackberry jam finish. An aggressive wine to pair with strong flavors, especially soy. (AV 86, http://argovino.com/?p=763) Read More

La Posta Pinot Noir Gloreta 2008
Snoothrank:
Is it possible for pinot noir to taste like malbec? This wine is trying to say yes, with a generous mix of cherry and berry flavors thats a little darker than usual, and a nose that echoes some of malbecs typical inkiness. But its still a pinot after all, with a nice smooth finish. (AV 86, http://argovino.com/?p=679) Read More

Bodega Norton Malbec Reserva 2007
Snoothrank:
The concentrated, focused bouquet is heavy with bittersweet chocolate, and the wine does not disappoint in heft. Theres a kaleidoscopic mix of light and dark flavors, culminating in a clean finish of medium length quite a stunner from a low-price producer, especially in a difficult vintage.

La Posta Malbec Angel Paulucci Vineyard 2008
Snoothrank:
Pungent cinnamon is the welcome surprise in the bouquet, but the wine is lean, making the lengthy finish something of a shocker. (AV 85, http://argovino.com/?p=498) Read More

In the heart of Mendoza wine country lies Luján de Cuyo, an area where the dry soil and the hot days and cool nights form ideal conditions to cultivate grapes. Old-vine vineyards produce the famed Argentinean Malbec grape from which Bodega Furlotti winemaker Pablo Durigutti crafts the Neu Direction wines. Neu Direction wines are made exclusivel...
