Northern Mendoza: Velvet Comes Back into Fashion

Not so long ago, Argentine reds were turning heads for their mixture of rich flavors and velvety textures. The heartland of that velvet era was Luján de Cuyo. In this new stage of development, the velvet has returned, only this time accompanied by more modern wine styles. From Luján to Primera Zona and the East, this report focuses on over 300 superb sun-kissed wines from the north of Mendoza.

2022 Santadi Cannonau di Sardegna Noras

2022 Santadi Cannonau di Sardegna Noras, 92 points

The 2022 Cannonau di Sardegna Noras sizzles with a mix of crushed rocks, sage, blood orange and dried cherries. It’s fleshy in feel, with weighty textures offset by fresh acidity and fine tannins. The 2022 finishes with fantastic length and structure. I love the tension and complexity here. (EG)

The 1979 is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. At 45 years of age, the 1979 remains timeless, a testament to how well Champagne can age.
