A dry red blend of equal parts Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, this comes from a father and daughter duo in Mendoza's Valle de Uco. Half of the grapes are fermented with stems, and the wine is aged in stainless steel on the lees. Fruit forward and savory, this medium-bodied red is dynamic, but works wonders at the table. Pair with classic bife de lomo.

Staff Pick Notes

Pielihueso is a family project that began in the Mendoza Valley in 2017. Organic practices are applied and only organic additives and goat manure as fertilizer are used! Spontaneous fermentation and natural yeast are an important part in the production of this wine. This is a blend of 50% Malbec and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Sipping this wine you can enjoy the typical dark fruit notes of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, a little spice and a great refreshing acidity that gives balance. Tannins are silky and pleasant in your mouth. This wine will work very well with your barbecue but it's versatile enough that it could be enjoyed with several other dishes.

Many grapes flourish here, but none have been as commercially successful as Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. One of the great undiscovered gems is Torrontés, a fresh, aromatic white variety that is best enjoyed young. The red Bonarda grape is another approachable yet little-known variety that thrives here. If you prefer your red wines spicy,...

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon has a...

Malbec

Known as Côt throughout much of France, Malbec is the dark-skinned variety that put Argentinian wine on the map - and likewise, Argentinian Malbec saved the grape from near obscurity. The Cahors appellation in France still relies on Malbec to distinguish many of its wines, but the area is exceptional in this regard. As the grape can be quite difficult to cultivate, it has become far less popular over the years, even in its Bordeaux home. Its South American renaissance has ensured, however, that...
