From the Cuvelier family (proprietors of Chateau Leoville Poyferre in Bordeaux) Los Andes’ 2007 Collecion is a blend of 60% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot. Sixty percent of the wine was aged in French oak for 12 months. A glass-coating opaque purple, it displays a perfumed nose of cedar, cinnamon, violets, black cherry, and black currant. Full-bodied, smooth-textured, and plush on the palate, it has layers of savory fruit, some underlying tannin, and excellent balance. This lengthy effort will benefit from 2-3 years of additional cellaring and offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2019. Rating: 91 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Jan 2011)

Cuvelier los Andes

The Cuvelier family were selling wines to the good folk of Northern France in the early years on the nineteenth Century. In 1903, with the purchase of the St Estèphe estate of Château le Crock, they moved into château ownership, crowning their move in 1920 by buying Château Leoville Poyferré. In the 1990s the family spread their wings all the way to Mendoza, initially working with Michel Rolland on his Clos de la Siete project. But, in 1999, they started to plant their own vineyards - Cuvelier los Andes - and began producing wine in 2003. Michel Rolland dutifully oversees winemaking, and spare grapes are still sold off to Clos de la Siete.
