Renacer “R” “R” is Renacer’s icon wine and represents the finest and boldest expression of the Malbec grape in Argentina. Incredibly rich and complex, “R” results from the talent and dedication of two great winemakers, Alberto Antonini and Pablo Sanchez, who blend grapes (98 percent Malbec and 2 percent Cabernet Franc) from select parcels in the old vines of Los Patos Vineyard. This limited-edition wine is aged for twenty-four months in French oak barrels and an additional ten months in-bottle before release. This wine is a deep purple in color with intense violet highlights. Aromas of wild blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries, and black cherries combine with floral notes of violets and roses and hints of vanilla, coffee, and baking spices. “R” is rich and dense, bursting with flavors of ripe black raspberries, Bing cherries, and tart cranberries are complemented by more subtle notes of vanilla, mocha, licorice, and tobacco. This lush wine is round and expansive in the mouth, and the firm tannic structure leads to a lengthy finish of great depth. 2009 : 91 WS | 2008 : 92 WA, 92 WE | 2007 : 91 WE Top 100 Wines, 92 WA, 90 WS | 2006 : 94+ WA, 93 WS, 92 WE Punto Final Gran Cabernet Franc Edicion Limitada With a limited production of only 2,000 bottles, Gran Cabernet Franc is a rarity by its own nature, composed of 100 percent Cabernet Franc in a region that is all but devoted to Malbec production and you have a rare gem—composed of 100 percent Cabernet Franc in a region that is devoted to Malbec production.
