the wine

Patagonia is Argentina's cool frontier, and Familia Schroeder makes some of its most convincing reds. This double-Cabernet blend pairs the herbal snap of Cabernet Franc with the backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon, fresh and structured rather than sun-baked. Proof that Argentina is about more than Mendoza.

tasting notes
Intense red with a complex nose of dark fruit and spice, pink peppercorn, sweet herbal notes and a touch of roasted pepper, with coconut and mocha from oak. Smooth, with round, juicy tannins, mineral notes and an elegant structure into a lingering finish.

from Familia Schroeder.

Familia Schroeder farms the cool Patagonian desert of Neuquen, one of the southernmost serious wine regions on earth. During construction of the winery they unearthed a dinosaur fossil, which gave the Saurus wines their name. The cold, windswept climate lends their reds a freshness rare in Argentina.
