The flagship wine of the estate, Treinta y Dos (or 1932, the year the vineyard was planted) requires a few years cellaring. A New World wine from Argentina might lead you to expect something opulent, fruit-forward and generous with oak, but this is one composed, structured, fragrant and nuanced wine that embraces its Patagonian terroir. The '09 Treinta y Dos is like a classic sports car--racy, sexy, impeccably built, and a pleasure to the senses: red plum and boysenberry, baking spices, and a waft of mushrooms, a lush texture and structuring yet dense tannins. Drinking 2016-25 and beyond.

A New World wine from Argentina might lead you to expect something opulent, fruit-forward and generous with oak, but this is one composed, structured, fragrant and nuanced wine that embraces its Patagonian terroir. The seductive nose on the 2006 flashes the alluring qualities of Pinot Noir: musky red fruit, sweet spice, rose petals, and some earthy tertiary notes. Aerate the wine and see how it opens to offer a lush texture and to reveal nuances of black cherry, currants, and graphite. The cooler vintage 2007 is more reserved, precise and complex. Give it another five years of cellar time to showcase its full potential. Fresh and floral, 2008, the hottest weather vintage of the offering, showers you with ripe, brambly fruit.
