High Note Uco Valley

Altitude is everything. High Note hails from the foothills of the Andes Mountain range, where altitude is essential in providing vineyards with the perfect combination of intense sunlight and cool temperatures. Crafted in the Vista del Sur winery by winemaker Leopoldo Kuschnaroff, High Note offers high altitude and high-quality wines at an exceptional value. High Note Malbec Grapes for this Malbec are sourced from five vineyards with sandy loam soils, ranging in elevation from 3,300 to 4,500 feet. Vista Flores vineyard has flavors of spice, red fruits and minerality. La Consulta adds black fruit and mid-palate weight while Altamira’s fruit has notes of violets. Eugenio Bustos vineyard offers racy acidity and floral notes while adding to the violet color. Gualtallary vineyard, at the highest altitude, brings deep purple color and additional floral and black fruit notes balanced with acidity. Aromas of violet, jasmine, and ripe red fruits complement the palate, which opens with notes of plums and toffee and gives way to hints of almonds and cinnamon. Round tannins lead into a ripe fruit finish. 2014 : 88 WA High Note Andes 1,100 Meter Red Blend Grapes for this red blend (70 percent Malbec, 20 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 percent Syrah) are sourced from five high-altitude vineyards with sandy loam soils, ranging in elevation from 3,300 to 4,500 feet.
