Santa Julia Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

This accessible yet refined red wine originates from the Uco Valley in the Mendoza region of Argentina. Produced by Bodega Santa Julia, the winery is a standard-bearer for the Zuccardi family’s commitment to sustainable and organic viticulture. The "Reserva" line focuses on fruit sourced from high-altitude vineyards, specifically in Vista Flores and Tupungato, to capture the racy acidity and structural elegance that define the Uco Valley’s unique mountain terroir.

Wine Description

The Santa Julia Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon displays an intense ruby-red color with bright purple highlights. The sensory profile is a classic expression of the varietal in a cool mountain climate, featuring a bouquet of black cherries, prunes, and blackberries intertwined with spicy notes of black pepper, paprika, and a touch of dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and well-structured, showcasing concentrated dark fruit flavors and sharp, "vertical" tannins. It is characterized by a vibrant acidity that provides great freshness, leading into a long, persistent finish with a hint of cedar and spice.
