AR 2 Argentinian Red Wine
Produced and bottled by Locations
At the foot of the Andes Mountains in Mendoza, Argentina lies a vineyard site
ideally suited for our first wine made in the Southern Hemisphere. Unlike some
growing regions in the area that are flood irrigated, Locations AR2 was harvested
from drip system blocks on estate land. Extremely well drained and alluvial in
profile, the yields are low and the berries are small. Malbec along with Cabernet
Sauvignon and Tannat , aged in new French oak , form the composition.
For years, our friends have spoken highly about the area despite the twenty -six
hour travel time to get there. Now we know why and eagerly look forward to the
next harvest .
Winemaker s notes
Ruby red in complexion, the wine bursts with aromas of cassis, lavender,
blueberry, and a subtle hint of cedar box. In the glass, it opens to reveal a dense
mix of dark fruit flavors, currant, and crushed raspberry complimented with a nice
floral li ft. Tannins with soft definition provide for a pleasing and weighty finish.
