Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Garnet color with hints of purple. Medium-bodied with classic Cabernet flavors of rich red fruits and hints of milk chocolate and grilled meat. Incredible length and purity of flavor with a certain savory character that keeps you coming back for more. If Cabernet Sauvignon dreamed at night, this is what it would dream about! Pairs well with a wide range of foods from beef and pork to lamb, quail and other game birds, and cream-based sauces.

About the Name/Label
The label features figurines from a silver Huarpe Indian necklace that Susana owns. The figures represent women’s reproductive role as the connection between the past, present, and future. She considers her role as winemaker to be the connection between the vineyards (past), the winemaking (present), and the finished wines (future).
