An Honest "Plug" for the ARGENTINIAN MENDOZA UCO VALLEY | MALBEC, SYRAH, CABERNET FRANC | 13.5%
I have made a total of 8 kit wines over the past 3 years. This Argentinian Mendoza Uco Valley kit is the best of the 8. I used all kit ingredients EXCEPT the yeast and decided to do a split fermentation with 3 gallons on Cellar Science Red and the other 3 gallons on RC212. Blended the two lots back together prior to adding clarification and sulphites. Aged for the specified time in kit instructions - I believe 60 days. Bottled one year ago on July 30, 2023. Tasted at Thanksgiving, Christmas, early spring 2023 and at 1 year. It was really good and "smoky" at 3 months. It was very good at 6-9 months. At 1 year, it rivals any Mabec blend I have EVER had and honestly, I believe it to be the best I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. My batch came out at 13.8%. You can definitely taste the spicy/earthiness of the Cab Franc in this blend. Exceptional! Whole heartedly recommend!
