Cheval Des Andes Red 2022

Soon to be released through La Place de Bordeaux, the 2022 Cheval des Andes opens with an exotic, spice-driven bouquet, supplemented by lifted herbal notes and a vibrantly red-fruited and perfumed backdrop. The palate is similarly energetic, melding an elegantly rich, polished texture with a slender, tensile energy. It concludes with a long, persistent and high-toned finish that gradually unfurls a sturdy structure of supremely refined tannins. This is an excellent counterpoint to the comparatively darker and more open-knit 2021, showcasing a brighter, more tenacious profile while sacrificing none of the grace, nuance and textural attention to detail that has come to define Cheval des Andes. It's a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot.

In a shift from earlier vintages, where Malbec was more prominent, this year’s
blend includes over half Cabernet Sauvignon. The result
is a fuller-bodied wine that opens with aromas of rose
petals, ripe red fruit, black pepper, and graphite. It’s silky,
with depth, tension, and integrated cedar notes complementing a palate of lively fruit and subtle meaty undertones. Hints of spices and licorice enhance the flavors.
