Los Caballeros is a bold and earthy red wine that pays tribute to the cowboy culture found across the Americas. Bursting with flavors of blackberry, blueberry, red cherry, violet, and plum, this wine is both rich and smooth, with a long, satisfying finish. It's perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like carne asada, where the smoky flavors of the grill complement the wine’s dark fruit and subtle spice.
Emily's Tasting Notes
Los Caballeros is a masterful blend of 48% Malbec, 35% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the best qualities of all three grapes. The Malbec provides the wine’s bold structure, with deep flavors of blackberry and plum and a touch of violet aromatics.
The Merlot adds softness and balance, contributing notes of red cherry, blueberry, and a velvety texture that rounds out the wine. The Cabernet brings in structure in the form of firm tannins and dark fruit. Together, they create a harmonious blend that is rich yet approachable, offering layers of complexity that evolve with each sip.
Los Caballeros
Hailing from Argentina, Los Caballeros highlights the country’s rich winemaking heritage and the significance of Malbec in its viticultural identity. Malbec arrived in Argentina in the mid-19th century, brought by French agronomist Michel Aimé Pouget, and quickly thrived in the country’s unique climate. The high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, where this wine originates, are integral to its character.
The extreme elevation, with intense sunlight and cool nights, results in grapes with concentrated flavors, bright acidity, and a signature elegance. In Los Caballeros, this terroir is evident in the vibrant fruit flavors and refined structure, reflecting both Argentina’s winemaking traditions and the spirit of the cowboys who shaped its culture.
