High Note

Red Blend

High Note gets its name in reference to the altitude of the vineyards located high in the Andes Moutains of the Uco Valley.  Mendoza lies in the foothills of the moutians and the vineyards range from 3,300-5,000 ft above sea level, which lends unique characteristics to the wine.   Although these wines will have the necessary acidity and tannins to age, it might be hard for many to refrain from their immediate appeal.

Tasting Notes

Intense nose blackberry laced with spice fragrances, hints of blueberry.  Barrel aging provides further complexity with delicate chocolate and vanilla flavors.

Food Pairing

This unctuous and jammy wine is ideal with honey glazed pork, grilled sirloin steak, or with orange sauce and lamb tagine recipes.

“Leopoldo Kuschnaroff makes this Uco Valley blend from Malbec with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Bonarda, using components from five different sub-regions. Floral, juicy and lightly wooded, with filigree tannins, bright bramble and pastille fruit and a fresh finish.”

“Fruity blackberries and cherries with notes of black-bean paste, black olive and red pepper. Juicy and generous with chewy tannins. A hint of black date to close. Simple but well made.”
James Suckling
