Vive Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza
Alta Vista’s Vive Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits the true character of its grape variety. Fresh and intense, this wine’s aromas and flavors provide an excellent introduction to the fresh, fruit forward characteristics and overall quality of wines from Argentina.
Harvest Note
Heavily affected by La Nina, 2023 was one of the driest and lowest yielding vintages of the last 20 years. The cool, dry winter led to a warm, dry summer. Drought and frost reduced yields while the warmth accelarated harvest. All resulting fruit is excellent, though scarce.
Tasting Note
Ripe red fruit and juicy cherry flavors give way to a classic Cabernet savory character with a hint of bell pepper. Juicy and mouth-filling with a silky finish.
