A joint venture between Terrazas de los Andes and the legendary Château Cheval Blanc in Bordeaux. The vineyards are located on a select parcel of the most treasured terroir in Argentina, and made up of ungrafted vines dating back to 1929. The wine is made in the spirit of Cheval Blanc, yet displays the fruit intensity of its Argentinean roots.

    Snoothrank:

    Holy crap! I had no idea malbec had this side to it. I was slack-jawed for ... had the Finca Altamira and Cheval des Andes too.The complexity is mind-numbing, and the wine just made me think of the entire Mendoza dessert aromatics: the shrubs, the herbs and the dirt.I promise this wine will change the way you see malbec.
