The 2006 Quimera reveals a similar luxurious personality, layers of flavor, and a finish that just won’t quit. This sensational wine can be enjoyed in its succulent youth but should still be going strong in 12-15 years. In a brief period of time, Achaval Ferrer has become one of Argentina’s benchmark wineries. A visit to the winery in April 2008 was eye-opening. They export 85% of their production, 40% to the USA. The newest releases will not disappoint.Importer: TGIC Importers, Woodland Hills, CA; tel. (800) 924-0300; fax (818) 225-5111

(a blend of malbec, merlot and cabernets sauvignon and franc) Bright ruby-red. Aromatic nose combines cassis, leather, licorice and violet. Suave, moderately deep and dense flavors of peppery black fruits lead to a fine-grained but youthfully tough finish. The peppery element carries through to the aftertaste. This needs time.
