Finca Sophenia 2005 Synthesis The Blend Red (Tupungato)

Country: Argentina / Synthesis The Blend
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Mendoza Province
Winery: Finca Sophenia / Tupungato

An oaky, complex wine based on Malbec, Cabernet and Merlot, The Blend shows floral notes unmatched by almost all other Mendoza/Tupungato wines. Violets and rose petals interact with earthy fruit on both the nose and palate. And unlike the masses, this wine doesn’t make its point by pounding away with overextracted fruit. A different breed but well worth it. Only 40 cases made.
