This was a cool find from Mendoza, Argentina. Las Susanas are dedicated to making high quality, sustainable wines that align with their values while always striving for improvement. High Altitude wines from the Uco valley are one of my fave and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try a new one.

This specific wine is called "icono" because they dedicate this batch to the best fruit of each vintage. So whether it new one grape varietal or multiple grape varietals they get the best of that year and put it in a bottle. That's why its iconic. Today's is made up of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Malbec.

Tune in now to get the full details and tasting notes with me.
