Mendel Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Country: Argentina
Region and Appellation: Mendoza

Discover the precision of Mendel Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, a distinguished red wine from Argentina’s premier region, Mendoza. Crafted by renowned winemaker Roberto de la Mota at the esteemed Mendel estate, this wine embodies the winery’s commitment to showcasing Argentina’s high-altitude potential beyond Malbec. Sourced from meticulously tended vineyards in the Luján de Cuyo DOC—Mendoza’s historic cradle of premium viticulture—the 2021 vintage reflects a cool growing season, amplifying freshness and aromatic complexity.

The wine opens with vibrant notes of blackcurrant, cassis, and violets, elegantly framed by crushed stone minerality and dried herbs. Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, it delivers energetic acidity and firm, polished tannins, culminating in a structured, "pretty" finish. While approachable now, its backbone suggests graceful evolution; optimal drinking begins in 2024.

Traditional winemaking techniques—including hand-harvesting, native yeast fermentation, and careful oak aging—preserve the varietal purity and Mendoza terroir. Pair with herb-crusted lamb or aged cheeses. A compelling expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that reaffirms Mendel’s mastery of Argentina’s diverse wine landscape.
