What to Expect

The classic Bordeaux blends rely on either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the bulk of the wine with additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec helping to add complexity, color, body and structure to the finished wine.

Winemakers Notes

2004 Achaval-Ferrer Quimera is racy, almost piercing, with graphite, violet, mineral and boysenberry notes rushing along fine tannins and acidity. Long finish, but on the tight side for now, so cellar. Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2007 through 2014. 4,125 cases made. –JM Issue: Sep 30, 2006

My husband and I visited this winery on our honeymoon in Argentina. The winery was really impressive and small! We tasted many good wines, but this was so delicious we had to buy some and take home with us. I highly recommend it!
