The 2022 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is one step above the 2021 that I tasted next to it. Cabernet behaves better in cooler years, or let's say, the warmer the worse. Despite both years being average (or normal/classical), there is a little more varietal character, clarity and precision here. It has the textbook Cabernet tannins. 300,000 bottles produced.

The 2021 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon has contained alcohol at 14% but shows ripe aromas and a juicy and jammy character. This is a more capricious grape with the Mendoza soils and climate and can sometimes show notes of jammy fruit. It has a nice structure and the textbook varietal tannins. 300,000 bottles produced.

Cabernet Sauvignon is quite sensitive to heat, and the 2020 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the warm year and shows leafy and ripe aromas and reveals abundant, slightly rustic tannins. 300,000 bottles produced.

The 2019 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is varietal and has textbook Cabernet tannins and follows the style of the range for purity and freshness, using grapes from the cooler Vale del Uco. 2019 was also a cool vintage in the style of the 2018. 300,000 bottles produced.

The 2018 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon ferments together with some 10% Malbec, from early-harvested grapes, a change that happened some four years ago. It also has very subtle spices from a small part of the volume aged in used barriques. It's varietal, herbal and spicy, and it's round and polished, with sweet fruit and a dry finish. 500,000 bottles produced.
