Wine Tasting

                       February 3, 2012 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. 

A certified organic Malbec this 2010 Cuma showcases a nose of fresh raspberry and blackberry followed by a juicy palate of dark fruit, spice, ripe acidity and a soft finish. Sourced entirely from estate vineyards high in Argentina's northwest Andes. This extreme elevation lends itself perfectly to organic viticulture. Hot days, cool nights, lack of rainfall and a dry shallow soil allow for minimal human interference to the natural growth cycle of the vines. Cuma is produced to be drunk young, therefore little oak is used in the winery; instead the wines are aged at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks in an effort to showcase they're natural complexity and deep fruit flavors. 

Another certified Organic from Cuma this Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina's Mendoza region has red and black fruits notably blackcurrant and plum with a hint of vanilla mocha from French oak maturation. Supple and suave, with a restrained sweetness and a fine-grained texture. Round and well-balanced. Ready to drink from 2010 and will improve over the next three years.  

The 2011 Cuma Torrontes Cuma is an organic wine produced to be drunk young, therefore little oak is used in the winery; instead the wines are aged at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks in an effort to showcase they're natural complexity and deep fruit flavors.hows a bright green/yellow color, the wine has aromas of rose petals and hints of jasmine and orange skin. On the palate, the wine exhibits fresh and floral fruit with a refreshing, bracing acidity. The palate flavors include fresh peaches and a floral taste that is typical with this grape.
