Hailing from the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of Argentina's San Juan province, the Finca Las Moras Barrel Select Cabernet Syrah is a masterful expression of regional synergy. San Juan, bordered by the towering Andes, relies on pure glacial meltwater to nourish its vines in an otherwise arid landscape. This bottling marries the structural nobility and blackcurrant depth of Cabernet Sauvignon with the fleshy, dark plum and cracked black pepper allure of Syrah—a grape that has found a second spiritual home in San Juan. Aged carefully in a selection of French and American oak barrels, the wine develops a sophisticated tapestry of toasted vanilla, cocoa, and sweet spice notes, softening the robust tannins of the blend into a smooth, lingering finish that captures the pioneering spirit of the Tulum Valley.
