The only Latin American winemaker to obtain 100 points from Robert Parker, Marcelo Pelleriti is a tour de force. His day job is winemaker at Monteviejo and the Bordeaux properties of the Pere-Verge family, Chateau Le Gay in Pomerol. He loves music, and often partners with famous Argentines like multi Grammy award winning musician Pedro Aznar to collaborate on new projects. A deep, full-bodied blend of Malbec & Cabernet Franc from high elevation vineyards in Altamira and La Consulta, this high pitched red is ripe, aromatic and hedonistic with aromas of plums and dark cherries with 18 months in French oak. As Luis Guitierrez writes in The Wine Advocate about the 2012 Vintage: $100 Release Price: "Everything is in balance. In an XL balance, but balanced after all. Ripe, juicy and really showy. I'd go for this one." If you're a fan of his Felipe Staiti blends, you're going to love this for under $20!
"A rich and juicy wine with chocolate and berry character. Full body, soft and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Gorgeous and sexy. A blend of malbec and cabernet franc. Drink now or hold." James Sucklin, 96 Points
