Elegant, finessed, fragrant.
A new offering in our market the La Linda also benefits fro Bosca's beautiful new label change.
It is grown on 30+ year old vines in Lujan de Cuyo and offers black cherries and botanical, violets and vanilla, mocha and pipe tobacco with savory spice and smoked meat, peeking through. Good bones overall, it is an elegant wine, finessed and woven with great balance and fine tannins. The finish trails flavours of cocoa and spice.
Pair: grilled or roasted meats, mushroom and thyme stuffed ravioli, hard cheeses.

This traditional method sparkling has zero dosage, making it a dry blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It impressed me with its concentration.
Golden in colour it has a very nutty and savoury nose woven with baked apples, and warm brioche. It's robust; intense, creamy, autolytic, nutty and bordering on muscular. It's not a bright and bouncy bubbly, this one will stand up to fatty meats and grilling.

Fleshy, supple, generous.
An inky ruby shade with engaging notes of fresh red berries and blackberries, vanilla, cedar, licorice, mocha, violets and baking spice. It is supple, has a glycerol texture, generous fruit and fleshy mid-palate. Intense and postured, it has a lengthy finish trailing bittersweet chocolate.
A consistently excellent wine.
Pair: grilled or roasted meats, mushroom and thyme stuffed ravioli.
