Cheval des Andes 2021

A New World wine where the First Growth influence is clear, Cheval des Andes is made with the expertise of Chateau Cheval Blanc & Terrazas de los Andes.  The signature here is Malbec from two exceptional terroirs - ungrafted old vines (planted in 1929 and 1945) blended with high quality Cabernet Sauvignon.  The high altitude vineyards experience great temperature variation throughout the day, yielding complex and expressive fruit.  Cheval des Andes is now making fabulous wines, with impressively velvety texture & refinement.

Cheval des Andes

"Light and elegant, the 2021 Cheval des Andes is 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Malbec, 3% Pe!t Verdot. It achieves a feat that only cool years can provide: smooth texture, agile palate and just the right amount of freshness for a nuanced build. As it breathes, it begins to reveal notes of fresh cherry and plum, with a hint of menthol, maraschino cherries and a touch of pepper. It opens further with aromas of sandalwood and oak that complete the framework. This is a somewhat leaner, more ethereal Cheval than other years, but it has a higher level of precision. It's a wine inspired by Bordeaux, executed in a Bordeaux style, with Mendoza terroir. A wine without edges, it’s a polished red in the early stages of a long, balanced life."
