2020 Passionate Wines Montesco Parral, Valle de Uco, Argentina

40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Bonarda Passionate Wines is the brainchild of Matias Michelini. He is the winemaker, agronomist, and Grand Poobah of his winery named Passionate Wines. Matias strives to make experimental wines that express terroir. These wines are low production and are drawn from multiple inspirations, regions, and styles. The Montesco wines are small production wines that focus on place and varietals. Matias continues to experiment with other cuvees with the mantra of producing either atypical varietals or classic varietals in non-traditional methods. Aromas of tobacco, ripe black and blue berries, citrus, and violet, along with traces of granite and baker's chocolate. The finish brings out notes of black raspberry, coffee, black pepper, and blood orange.
