Established in 1999 within one of Argentina`s most prestigious regions, Luján de Cuyo in northern Mendoza, Cheval des Andes is a collaborative project between Chateau Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de Los Andes. The 2020 vintage is a blend composed of 49% Malbec, 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Petit Verdot. Displaying a medium to deep garnet-purple hue, the wine initially presents with subtle notes of tar and black olives, which gradually give way to a core of plum preserves, stewed black cherries, and mulberries. Hints of garrigue and mineral undertones add complexity. The palate is full-bodied, showcasing rich black fruit preserves framed by textured tannins and a refreshing acidity, culminating in a lengthy finish with a touch of spiciness.
The 2020 Cheval des Andes is a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley and Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo. Aged in French oak barrels, it`s purple in the glass with a garnet sheen. The nose reveals a well-judged approach to the warmth of 2020, featuring ripe plum, redcurrant, mint and hints of white pepper over a bed of bay leaf and cedar. It`s dry and velvety on the palate, with rich, polished tannins that deliver a juicy, balanced mouthfeel. The balsamic notes and rich palate reflect the year`s character, while the finish is dynamic and long-lasting. - Joaquin Hidalgo
