Bodegas
Caro was born of an alliance between two wine cultures
(French and Argentine), two noble grape varieties
(Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec), and two renowned wine
families (Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and
Nicolas Catena).
Vignerons since the 19th century, these two powerful
organizations have combined their deep knowledge of Mendoza’s
high altitude terroir and the art of winemaking to create
a unique wine.
This 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon/Malbec
blend has a wonderful, deep purple-red color. Intense
aromas of red and black
fruit
(cherries
and blackcurrants)
on the nose, with notes of cedar, vanilla and
tobacco, slightly minty and well integrated. Full on
the palate with good, fairly powerful tannic structure,
and good, delicate length.
Claretlike
in its elegance, this layered effort already is
revealing considerable complexity. It has the balance
to develop in the cellar for several more years and
should offer peak drinking from 2011 to 2020.
