"For those who can no longer accompany every dinner with a bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild, there is always this Argentinean estate, Bodegas Caro, which offers high quality wines at far more affordable prices." Neal Martin
Caro has long been a connoisseur's choice which, like many of Argentina's successful projects, captures the high-altitude climate of Mendoza through the lens of Bordeaux's art of the blend. This is achieved from vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, and the Uco Valley at up to 950m and 1600m above sea level respectively, and operations in the winery overseen by Olivier Trégoat, technical director of Château L’Évangile and Château Rieussec.
What the critics say:
"The 2021 CARO, 79% Malbec and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, is deep garnet-purple in color. It soars from the glass with expressive notes of plum preserves, blueberry compote, and licorice with hints of candied violets and spice cake. The full-bodied palate is jam packed with perfumed black fruits, framed by super-ripe, super-plush tannins and tantalizing freshness, finishing very long and fragrant. This is an impressive showing for this joint venture between Lafite Rothschild and Nicolas Catena."
"Intense ruby red colour, offering restrained and savoury flavours with balanced spice, liqourice, graphite and blackberry. This is a consistently good quality Malbec with a shot of Cabernet adding structure and tannins, and is full of pleasure in this slightly cooler-than-usual Argentinian vintage. First time sold through the wider negociant system of The Place, rather than as an exclusivity. Oliver Tregoat winemaker, director Philipe Rolet."
